What is a Cataract?

A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens that develops gradually and causes blurry, dim, or hazy vision. The natural lens, which sits behind the iris, normally focuses light onto the retina. When proteins in the lens break down and clump together, the lens turns cloudy, leading to symptoms like glare, faded colours, and difficulty seeing in low light.

Cataract is the leading cause of treatable blindness in India, and the only effective treatment is surgical removal of the cloudy lens, replaced with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Modern cataract surgery is bladeless, painless, and takes about 15 to 20 minutes per eye, with most patients seeing clearly within 24 to 48 hours.

Who Gets Cataract and How to Spot It Early

Who Is at Risk of Cataract?

  • Ageing: The most common cause, with cataracts typically developing after age 50
  • Diabetes: Uncontrolled blood sugar accelerates cataract formation. Diabetic patients may also benefit from a retina check-up to rule out diabetic retinopathy alongside cataract.
  • Eye Injuries: Trauma, chemical exposure, or radiation can trigger early cataract
  • Long-term Steroid Use: Especially oral or eye-drop steroids over years
  • Excessive UV Exposure: Prolonged sunlight without UV protection
  • Family History: Genetic predisposition to early cataract
  • Previous Eye Surgery: Some intraocular procedures can speed up cataract progression
  • Smoking and Alcohol: Long-term use is linked to faster cataract development

Early Signs You Shouldn't Ignore

  • Blurry, hazy, or cloudy vision in one or both eyes
  • Increased sensitivity to bright lights, sunlight, or vehicle headlights
  • Difficulty seeing clearly at night or while driving after dark
  • Frequent changes in glasses prescription
  • Colours appearing faded, dull, or yellow-tinted
  • Double vision in one eye
  • Needing more light than usual for reading

If you experience two or more of these symptoms, it's a good time to schedule a cataract evaluation with our specialists.
