What Is a Cataract?

A cataract happens when the eye’s natural lens gets cloudy and scatters light rather than focusing clearly on the retina. The lens of the eye is mostly composed of water and protein. As we grow older, some of the protein can clump together and turn yellow, resulting in blurry or cloudy vision.

Some typical symptoms of cataracts are:

• Cloudy or foggy vision
• Increased light sensitivity
• Halos around lights
• Fading of colors
• Difficulty with night vision
• Frequent prescription changes

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, consult the best cataract specialist in Pune at DLEI for expert guidance.

What Causes Cataracts?

Cataracts can form due to a variety of reasons. Some of the most common causes include:

Age

Most cataracts begin to develop after the age of 55, though they can occur earlier depending on your health and lifestyle.

Diabetes

Diabetics are more likely to develop cataracts at an early age because of varying blood sugar levels.

Excessive Sun Exposure

Long periods of exposure to the UV rays from the sun can strain the eye’s lens. This is preventable by wearing sunglasses that protect against the UV rays.

Smoking and Alcohol

Both alcoholism and smoking are established risk factors for the development of cataracts at an early age.

Obesity

Being overweight adds to your risk of diabetes and other systemic diseases, which can lead to cataract development.

High Blood Pressure

Chronic hypertension is thought to enhance the possibility of developing cataracts at an earlier age.

Treatment for Cataracts at DLEI

At DLEI, we are experts in cataract removal and restoration of your vision with accuracy and security. Cataract surgery consists of the exchange of the cloudy natural lens with a clear artificial lens known as an intraocular lens (IOL).

Our Cataract Surgery Techniques:

1. Phacoemulsification

An older technique where the cloudy lens is disintegrated into tiny fragments by ultrasound and evacuated via a small incision.

A foldable IOL is placed inside.

2. Laser Cataract Surgery (Bladeless)

Done with the CATALYS® Precision Laser System.

The laser softly disrupts the cloudy lens and makes a precise incision to accommodate the IOL.

Provides a safer, more precise, and painless surgical experience.

Why Choose Bladeless (Laser) Cataract Surgery?

Against conventional techniques, bladeless cataract surgery is several things better:

• Greater security and precision in removal of cataract
• Predictable and stable visual results
• Accurate centered capsulotomy for best IOL positioning
• Reduced use of ultrasound energy – less stressful on the eye
• Reduced intraoperative complications

Types of Intraocular Lenses (IOLs)

At DLEI, we have a selection of high-end intraocular lenses depending on your lifestyle, vision needs, and eye condition:

Monofocal IOL

Corrects for near vision at a single distance (typically far).

Needs glasses for near or intermediate activities.

Toric IOL

Symfony Toric IOL is our lens of choice for patients with astigmatism.

Multifocal IOL

Provides near, intermediate, and far vision correction.

What is VOZ?

VOZ (Variable Optic Zone) is an intelligent method of shaping the laser treatment according to the size of your pupil. Larger pupils require different zones of treatment in order to prevent side effects such as glare and night halos. VOZ ensures the treatment fits your eye exactly. It also preserves more of your natural cornea, which is beneficial for long-term safety.

What is SAFE?

SAFE (Shearing Applied Force Extraction) is a new method that enhances how corneal tissue is dissected during procedures such as SMILE or LASIK. Rather than making a rough cut, SAFE uses a soft force to excise tissue more cleanly. This translates to reduced trauma to the eye, faster healing, and more comfort while recovering.

In conjunction, VOZ and SAFE improve refractive surgery to be safer, smarter, and more individualized. Individuals with thin corneas, extremely high or low power, or even dry eyes – once informed that they can’t have LASIK – might now be eligible due to these advances.

These methods are already helping patients see clearly without glasses or contacts. Dr. Ladi’s work has opened new doors in eye surgery and is giving thousands a second chance at perfect vision – with safety as the top priority.
