Overview

 

The word 'cataract' is used to describe any opacity or reduction in clarity of the lens of the eye. This can mean anything from mild cloudiness of the lens to complete opacification. Most people over the age of 50 have some haziness over the lens and the situation only becomes relevant if the lens opacity is interfering with vision. Cataract is the most common cause of blindness in the world today. It is, however, treatable with highly effective surgery and cataract removal is the most common operation carried out in the UK today.

Symptoms

 

There are various different types of cataract.

  • A nuclear cataract causes gradual reduction in vision. It may lead to changes in the spectacle correction for the eye such that new glasses are needed frequently, even up to every few weeks.
  • A cortical cataract may give rise to poor vision associated with seeing haloes around lights or seeing things double with one eye.
  • Posterior subcapsular lens opacities tend to cause reduction in vision - especially for reading, susceptibility to bright lights and glare.

These types of cataract are not exclusive and may all occur in the same eye causing all the above symptoms.

If cataract is present in only one eye, then there may be no symptoms at all as the patient can see well with the other unaffected eye.



What are the risks of surgery?

 

This operation is extremely successful with a very high rate of patient satisfaction. There are small risks of infection (endophthalmitis), haemorrhage or retinal damage that may result in reduction in vision or even complete loss of vision in the eye. These severe problems are thought to occur in about 1 in every 2000 patients.

In the long term there is a risk that the capsule that holds the lens in place may become cloudy and this causes gradual reduction in vision. This can be treated with a YAG laser which makes a clear hole in the capsule. This procedure is carried out in the clinic or day unit. Some drops may be needed after this for a short while. There is a small risk that the retina may become detached after this, or that the pressure may go up, but these will be looked for and should be treated if present.
