What is a Cataract?

Ever feel like your vision is cloudy or blurry, like looking through a foggy window? That could be a cataract! It happens when the natural lens inside your eye becomes cloudy, making it harder to see clearly.

How Do You Know If You Have a Cataract?

    ✔️ Blurry or hazy vision
    ✔️ Trouble seeing at night, especially while driving
    ✔️ Colors look faded or yellowish
    ✔️ Lights seem too bright or have halos around them
    ✔️ You need frequent changes in your glasses

What Causes It?

  • Aging: The most common reason – our eyes change as we get older!

  • Eye Injuries: A hit to the eye can lead to a cataract.

  • Diabetes: High blood sugar can speed up cataract formation.

  • Too Much Sunlight: UV rays can damage your eyes over time.

  • Smoking & Alcohol: These habits increase the risk.

  • Family History: If your parents had cataracts, you might be more likely to get them too.

Can Cataracts Be Prevented?

    While you can’t always stop them from happening, you can slow them down by:
    ✨ Wearing sunglasses that block UV rays
    ✨ Eating healthy foods rich in vitamins and antioxidants (like leafy greens and carrots!)
    ✨ Quitting smoking and limiting alcohol
    ✨ Controlling diabetes and maintaining overall eye health

How Are Cataracts Treated?

    In the early stages, simple things like stronger glasses and better lighting can help. But if the cataract starts affecting your daily life—like making it hard to read, drive, or recognize faces—it’s time for surgery.

What Happens in Cataract Surgery?

    👉 It’s a simple, painless procedure! The cloudy lens is removed and replaced with a clear artificial lens.
    👉 Surgery usually takes
    less than 30 minutes and doesn’t require a hospital stay.
    👉 Most people get
    sharper vision within days and go back to normal activities quickly.
