MYTHS AND FACTS OF MODERN CATARACT SURGERY – 3

Cataract surgery is very safe and advanced. Yet there are a few misconceptions about the surgery.  We discuss some of these here.   MYTH: Spectacles can be completely avoided after cataract surgery. FACT: After cataract surgery, dependency on glasses reduces when we use presbyopia correcting lenses like multifocals or trifocals. Sometimes there is no dependence on glasses. But with monofocal lenses there is a need for near vision glasses in most patients.   MYTH: Cataract surgery can be avoided if one stops reading. FACT: Cataract is not caused because of reading or using the computer for long hours. The causes are either age related, drug intake related, trauma or diabetes.   MYTH: With advancing age vision will be slowly lost. FACT:  Vision problems can occur as one gets older. Presbyopia or reduced near vision and cataract are more likely to occur in the elderly. When one is operating for cataract, one can get rid of the presbyopia by using multifocal lenses.     Dr Ramesh Murthy at AXIS EYE CLINIC has more than 20 years’ experience and has trained at the best eye institutes in India and abroad.
