Cataract

Welcome to Borde Clinic, where your eye health is our foremost concern. Dr. Nishita Beke-Borde, an esteemed ophthalmologist, is here to enlighten you about cataracts and how they can impact your vision.

What is a Cataract?

Cataracts are a common eye condition characterized by the clouding of the eye’s natural lens. This cloudiness can cause vision problems that hinder your daily life.

Types of Cataracts:

• Age-Related Cataracts: Develop as we grow older.
• Congenital Cataracts: Present at birth or develop during childhood.
• Traumatic Cataracts: Result from eye injuries.
• Secondary Cataracts: Can develop due to other health issues, like diabetes.

Cataract Symptoms:

• Blurry or cloudy vision.
• Increased sensitivity to glare.
• Difficulty seeing at night.
• Fading of colors.
• Frequent changes in eyeglass prescriptions.

Diagnosis: A comprehensive eye exam by a specialist like Dr. Nishita Beke-Borde is essential to detect cataracts. We use advanced techniques like slit-lamp examination and retinal evaluation.

Treatment: While early cataracts may be managed with prescription glasses or contacts, advanced cases may require surgery. Cataract surgery is a highly successful and safe procedure. Dr. Nishita Beke-Borde specializes in this field and can guide you through the process.

Cataract Surgery:

• Involves removing the cloudy lens.
• Replacing it with a clear artificial lens (IOL).
• Minimally invasive procedure with rapid recovery.

Benefits of Cataract Surgery:

• Improved vision.
• Enhanced color perception.
• Reduced dependence on glasses.
• Enhanced quality of life.

Prevention: While cataracts cannot be completely prevented, certain lifestyle measures can lower your risk. Protect your eyes from UV rays, maintain a healthy diet rich in antioxidants, and manage chronic conditions like diabetes.
