The lens in the eye performs the important task of transmitting and focusing light on the retina to enable vision. This happens due to the breakage of fibres and proteins that keep the lens functional. A cataract’s primary causes include ageing and trauma. You can develop cataracts in one or both eyes.

Types of Cataracts:
Three major types of Cataracts form in the lens of the eyes
- Nuclear Sclerotic Cataract: This type of cataract happens when the centre of the eye, the nucleus is affected by a cloudy substance, turning it yellow and thicker. Nuclear sclerosis develops slowly and starts reducing vision, often causing blindness. Nuclear cataract treatment is used to eliminate the light-scattering effect.
- Cortical Cataract: This type of cataract develops when the outer lining, or the edges of the lens, the cortex, forms white leaf-shaped stripes or lines. The cataract stretches towards the centre, disturbing the flow of light
3. Posterior Subcapsular Cataract: This type of cataract is a small stain present right at the back of the eye, affecting the path of light. The major causes are increased alcohol intake, inflammation, and radiation.
Types of Cataract Surgery:
Leaving a cataract untreated can cause permanent vision loss. It is necessary to undergo suitable surgery for it. There are 3 major treatments for cataracts available:
- Phacoemulsification- Is a manual cataract surgery. In this lens of the eye that is damaged by cataracts is shattered into tiny pieces by an ultrasonic beam that is pulled out using vacuums.
- Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery- FLACS, in this process, computer-assisted laser energy(femtosecond laser) is used to break the cataract lens and successfully replace it with an intraocular lens. The point to note is that this procedure is non-invasive and reduces the risk of damage to the area around the lens.
- Extracapsular cataract extraction-ECC, is a modern cataract surgery involving the removal of the portion present in front of the lens capsule and adjusting an intraocular lens in the remaining anterior capsule.
