CATARACT BLINDNESS MAY BE PREVENTED IF TREATED ON TIME

A PUBLIC SERVICE MESSAGE FROM HASHMANIS GROUP OF HOSPITALS.

In today’s era, cataracts are the leading cause of blindness with over 51% identified with cataracts among an estimated population of 20 million, globally.According to the Journal of the Pakistan Medical Association, over 66.7% suffer with cataracts as the leading and most prominent cause of vision impairment and blindness, in Pakistan. Eyecare experts advocate to halt the growth of continual vision loss from cataracts via early diagnosis and treatment. We can stop legal and total blindness caused by cataracts and restore a healthy vision with the help of advancements made in ophthalmology.

Cataract happens when the lens inside your eye develops cloudy patches causing blurry visions, light sensitivity or difficulty seeing at night. The natural lens is made of water and protein and the protein’s position keeps the lens clear, allowing light to pass through. As one ages, some of the protein may cluster together and begin to form cloudy or opaque areas on the lens of the eye. This is a cataract and over time, it may grow further and larger, clouding more of the lens and making it difficult to see clearly.
A cataract surgery is a relatively quick, safe and painless procedure to remove the natural lens in your eyes and replace it with an artificial lens. It takes about 4-6 weeks to fully recover from the surgery.

There are 3 types of cataract surgery:
• Phacoemulsification (PHACO)
• Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS)
• Extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE)

At Hashmanis, we are committed to provide each patient with ideal vision correction in a safe and comforting environment, through superior surgical procedures and a promise to provide the highest level of patient care. When it comes to the health of your eyes, there should be no room for compromise

A cataract expert may best examine and guide on the ideal treatment plan based on the condition of one’s eye. Visual outcomes of modern cataract surgery at Hashmanis Group of Hospitals typically contain a cataract extraction and IOL implantation and are proven to provide the ability to see clearly for those who are even legally blind prior to the procedure. For ideal results, it is recommended to have the surgery performed before the cataract reaches its lowest vision levels or the stage of legal or total blindness in order to avoid the risks of medical and surgical complications.
