What is Cataract?
A cataract is a condition where the natural lens inside your eye becomes cloudy, leading to blurry or foggy vision. Though aging is the most common cause, cataracts can also develop from injury, diabetes, prolonged steroid use, or family history. If not treated in time, cataracts can affect daily activities such as reading, driving, or recognizing faces.
We offer complete cataract management — from early-stage evaluation and lifestyle guidance to precision cataract surgery.

Causes & Risk Factors of Cataracts
Cataracts can result from aging, diabetes, eye injuries, smoking, UV exposure, prolonged steroid use, or genetic factors, gradually clouding the eye’s natural lens.
Natural aging of the eye lens
Long-term exposure to sunlight (UV rays)
Diabetes and poor blood sugar control
Prolonged use of steroid medications
Eye injury or past surgery
Smoking and alcohol use
Poor nutrition or low antioxidants
Family history or genetics
Types of Cataracts
We treat all types of cataracts including age-related, congenital, traumatic, secondary to diseases, and medication-induced, each affecting the eye’s lens in different ways.
Nuclear Cataract
Develops in the center of the eye’s lens, usually due to aging. It causes gradual yellowing and hardening, leading to blurred central vision over time.
Cortical Cataract
Begins at the outer edges of the lens and grows inward like spokes. Often causes glare, halos, and difficulty seeing in bright or low light.
Posterior Subcapsular Cataract
Forms at the back of the lens and progresses rapidly. It affects near vision and causes glare in bright light or while reading.
Congenital Cataract
Present at birth or early childhood, often due to genetic conditions, infections, or developmental issues. Can impair vision and requires early diagnosis and treatment.
Traumatic Cataract
Occurs after an eye injury—either blunt or penetrating trauma. May form immediately or years later, affecting lens clarity and overall vision quality.
Secondary Cataract
Develops as a complication from other eye diseases, surgeries (like cataract surgery), or long-term steroid use. Often causes clouded vision similar to primary cataracts.
Non-Surgical Cataract Management
For early-stage cataracts, surgery may not be needed. Our team offers non-surgical management options such as:
Regular monitoring of vision
Prescription updates for glasses or contact lenses
Brighter lighting and magnifying lenses for reading
Nutritional advice to support lens health with antioxidants
Lifestyle guidance on managing diabetes, quitting smoking, and protecting eyes from UV light

Larger incision with lens removed in one piece
Requires stitches and has a longer recovery period
