Cataract Care

We provide a High-tech comprehensive eye care facilities to treat Cataract by undergoing advanced, safest and fastest recovery cataract surgery.

The human crystalline lens, which is clear and transparent is part of the focusing mechanism of the eye. Cataract is a clouding of the natural, clear lens of the eye. It usually develops as we age, but occasionally cataract formation may be seen in newborn babies and young ones too. These congenital cataracts could be the result of genetic tendencies, drug reaction caused during developmental stage, eye infection, trauma or injury, etc. However, whatever may be its cause, cataract causes blurred or double vision which makes it difficult for an individual to perform his/her daily activities.

The early cataractous lens bends light irregularly, so the images formed are blurred and unclear. When opaque, the cataract may cut off light nearly in total, causing blindness (reversible).
