Ensuring Your Eligibility For Cataract At Laxmi Eye Hospital

With the growing demand for Cataract surgery technology, individuals assessing their eligibility for the procedure is common.

Cataract surgery is usually recommended when cataracts significantly impair your vision and impact your daily activities.
Your eyes should be free from active infections or inflammation, and there should be no other severe eye conditions that might interfere with the surgery.
It's important to have realistic expectations regarding the outcomes of the surgery. While it often leads to improved vision, it may not eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses.
Your general health should be sufficient for you to undergo surgery safely. Your surgeon will assess your medical history to ensure you are a suitable candidate.
You should provide informed consent, indicating your understanding of the procedure, potential risks and benefits, and willingness to undergo the surgery.
If you have a history of refractive errors and desire reduced dependence on glasses or contact lenses after cataract surgery, your eye should have stable refraction for a few months before the surgery. Some advanced IOLs can help correct these refractive errors during cataract surgery.
While cataracts can affect people of all ages, they are more common in older adults. There is no strict age limit for cataract surgery; eligibility is based on visual impairment and overall health rather than age.

If a person has cataracts but their vision is not significantly impaired, they may choose to delay surgery. Cataracts progress slowly, and some individuals can manage their daily activities without much difficulty.
Some medical conditions may make surgery riskier. Individuals with uncontrolled diabetes, severe dry eye syndrome, or advanced glaucoma may need to address these issues before undergoing cataract surgery.
In some cases, very elderly patients may not be suitable candidates for cataract surgery, especially if they have other significant health issues that reduce life expectancy or the potential for vision improvement.
Certain eye conditions or systemic health problems may increase the risks associated with cataract surgery. For instance, individuals with a history of eye infections, retinal problems, or bleeding disorders may need to be evaluated carefully before undergoing the procedure.

Consultation with an eye doctor is essential for specific conditions and eligibility.
Explore eligibility for cataract surgery through personalized assessments.

Refer to international guidelines for cataract surgery for a detailed patient criteria checklist.

There are always alternative solutions for refractive errors, ensuring that eligibility for Cataract is not the only path for eye patients.
