Summary: Monofocal and multifocal lenses differ in clarity, range, and impact. Selecting the right option improves vision quality, independence, and long-term comfort post-cataract surgery. Key Takeaways: Monofocal lenses ensure reliable, high-contrast distance vision with minimal visual side effects. Multifocal lenses
Key Takeaways: Before LASIK eye surgery: Finish all eye tests, stop contact lenses as advised, share your full medical history, arrange a ride home, and avoid eye makeup/perfume on the day. What happens in LASIK: Eyes are numbed, a thin
Key Takeaways: Pre-op matters because these tests confirm you’re a safe LASIK candidate and help plan a treatment that fits your eyes and goals. Your history: Tell the clinic about medical/eye issues, medicines (incl. acne/migraine/allergy drugs), past eye surgeries, contact-lens
Summary: SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is a next‑generation, fully automated, flap‑free femtosecond laser surgery for correcting myopia and astigmatism. The procedure involves creating a small lenticule inside the cornea with a laser, then extracting it through a tiny incision
Summary: Phacoemulsification cataract surgery is a minimally invasive technique that uses ultrasonic energy to break and remove a cloudy lens (cataract) through a tiny corneal incision. The procedure, followed by intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, restores clear vision with quick recovery
Key Takeaways: A complicated cataract is a cataract caused by another eye condition, which means it may progress faster and is often more challenging to manage. Common causes: Long-standing uveitis, retinal diseases (e.g., retinitis pigmentosa, detachment), glaucoma, diabetes/diabetic retinopathy, steroid
Key Takeaways: What is Lamellar (zonular) cataract: It is a type of cataract that is a cloudy layer inside the lens, ring-like, affecting one or both eyes. Who gets it: Commonly congenital/childhood, but can be seen in adults, too. Main
Key Takeaways: Cataracts can be slowed—but not reversed—without surgery. Antioxidants and herbal extracts may reduce oxidative damage. UV protection and lifestyle control delay progression. Always consult an eye specialist for diagnosis and treatment options. Cataracts are a common age-related eye
Key Takeaways: Immature cataract: early stage: lens is partly cloudy; blur and glare are mild to moderate. Mature cataract: advanced stage: lens is mostly or fully cloudy; vision is much worse, and daily tasks get hard. Symptoms (immature): more night
Key Takeaways: Laser eye surgery reshapes the cornea so light focuses clearly, reducing dependence on glasses or contacts. Not one-size-fits-all: The “best” option depends on your eyes, power, corneal thickness/shape, dry-eye risk, lifestyle, and budget. Laser eye surgery types: LASIK/Contoura
