Cataract Treatment With Laser Surgery at Yashoda Hospital
A cataract is a condition where the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, which can cause symptoms like blurry or faded vision, difficulty in seeing colours, increased sensitivity to light, glare, and poor vision at night. Cataracts are usually a result of the natural ageing process, but can also be caused by factors such as eye injuries, diabetes, genetics, prolonged use of steroids, and exposure to UV radiation. Laser surgery is an advanced computer-guided method that removes a cloudy lens (cataract) and replaces it with a clear intraocular lens (IOL). The laser creates accurate incisions and fragments the hard lens with less amount of energy. Laser cataract is an outpatient technique, and the steps include 3D mapping, bladeless incisions, capsulotomy, lens fragmentation, and lens removal and replacement.
The primary form of laser cataract surgery is Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS). Also, other than this, surgeons can perform other similar laser cataract surgeries like laser-assisted corneal relaxing incisions, a technique to treat a mild form of astigmatism by making small incisions in the cornea to reshape its curvature. YAG laser capsulotomy is another form of an outpatient procedure that is performed weeks or years post the initial cataract surgery. This technique utilizes a laser to create an opening in the posterior lens capsule if it becomes cloudy, a condition known as posterior capsular opacification (PCO). Although traditional surgery is highly effective, the accuracy of laser technology offers added benefits, particularly when treating conditions in combination with cataracts, such as astigmatism, glaucoma, or age-related macular degeneration.
