  1. What are cataracts and how are they treated?

  2. What are cataracts? • Cataract is a condition when the clear lens of the eye becomes clouded. • The symptoms can include cloudy/hazy vision, as well as an increased sensitivity to bright lights and glare. • Other signs that you may notice when you have cataracts are difficulty reading in dim light, or finding it a challenge to drive at night. No further improvement in vision inspite of frequent change your glasses prescription may also indicate that you are developing cataracts.  For More Information Visit: https://www.drswatisinkar.com.au/cataract-surgery/

  3. As cataracts are most often the consequence of ageing (although other medical conditions, such as diabetes and smoking, can also play a role), they affect a significant proportion of the population — around 700,000 people in Australia, according to some estimates. • They generally develop in both eyes at the same time, but it is often the case that the condition will be more advanced in one eye than the other.

  4. If you have cataracts, your GP will refer you to an eye specialist in Adelaide, and it is likely that you will need to undergo cataract surgery in order to have them removed. • A referral does not necessarily mean that eye surgery is urgent and you may be able to function perfectly well for an extended period of time before cataract surgery is required.

  5. Are there different types of cataracts? • There are three different types of cataracts, and they are generally classified by ophthalmologists according to the part of the lens in which they appear.  • Nuclear sclerotic cataract • Cortical cataract • Posterior subcapsular cataract For More Information Visit: https://www.drswatisinkar.com.au/cataract-surgery/

  6. What does cataract surgery involve? • If you are suffering from any of these types of cataracts, the solution to regaining clear vision is to consult a Cataract Surgeon in order to undergo surgery. •  Cataract surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that can usually be performed as day surgery under local anaesthetic. • In cases where both eyes require surgery, they will be operated on separately, usually a few weeks apart.
