A Rosette Cataract is a rare type of Cataract that creates a flower-like or star-shaped pattern on the lens of the eye. It typically occurs following blunt eye trauma, such as having been struck by a ball, fist, or hard object. “Rosette” is the name given because the Cataract creates a unique pattern on the lens surface.
What Causes Rosette Cataracts?
Rosette Cataracts can occur right after injury or develop after a while. They are more prevalent in young persons and sportspeople, particularly those engaged in contact sports. In other instances, the injury could involve other eye structures like the Iris or Retina, and hence treatment might be complicated.
Individuals with Rosette Cataracts commonly experience blurry vision, glare, or halos of light. Because the center of the lens is usually affected, even a small Rosette can seriously interfere with vision.
Treatment with Bladeless Precision
At Dada Laser Eye Institute, Dr. Jeevan Ladi has great experience in treating trauma-related Cataracts, including Rosette Cataracts. With the help of state-of-the-art bladeless Cataract Surgery, he removes the traumatized lens with great care and inserts a new Intraocular Lens (IOL) to bring back the patient’s vision. The procedure is more accurate with the use of laser technology, particularly in traumatized eyes.
Before Surgery, detailed scans are done to assess the extent of the damage. Dr. Ladi then chooses the right IOL for each patient, which may include premium options like toric or multifocal lenses.
