• A cataract is the clouding of the lens of the eye which diminishes normal vision.
• They are commonly caused due to ageing, trauma to the eyes, diabetes, and long term use of steroids.
• Symptoms of cataract include blurry cloudy and/or reduced vision at night.
• Treatment includes surgical removal of the lens of the cataract affected eye, once the cataract becomes mature.

Cornea Surgery in India is performed in people suffering from vision problems due to thinning of the cornea, scarring of the cornea from any severe injuries, or vision loss due to the cloudy cornea (one of the commonest causes of corneal clouding or scarring worldwide is Trachoma.

Cornea transplant in India is a fairly common operation. Cornea Transplant is a surgical procedure conducted to replace the diseased cornea of the patient with the donated cornea tissue or graft. During the procedure, a clear and healthy cornea is fixed in place of the opaque or cloudy cornea to restore lost vision in the patient. A clear cornea, thus, allows light rays to enter the eyes for a more distinct vision.

Cornea transplant, commonly known as Eye transplant, is one of the most successful organ transplant treatments. Its success depends upon the type and amount of damage caused to the cornea from any injury or disease. It should, however, be noted that vision restored depends upon the condition of tissues and grafts of the surrounding parts of the cornea as well as the underlying disease condition of the recipient.

Penetrating cornea transplant or full thickness transplant or Penetrating Keratoplasty: When too many layers form on the cornea and it obstructs your vision, you need a full thickness transplant surgery. Penetrating cornea transplant helps in replacing several layers damaged cornea with the healthy cornea retrieved from the donor.

Lamellar cornea transplant or Lamellar Keratoplasty: As opposed to penetrating cornea transplant, this procedure includes the replacement of only a few layers of the cornea. The procedure is recommended when the disease has only spread to a portion of the cornea.

Retinal transplantation aims to prevent blindness and to restore eyesight, i.e., to rescue photoreceptors or to replace damaged photoreceptors with the hope of reestablishing neural circuitry. Retinal donor tissue has been transplanted as dissociated cells or intact sheets.

The 2 main types of Glaucoma are Open-Angle and Angle-Closure. Apart from the two usual types, there are 8 additional types of Glaucoma, most of which are variations of Open-Angle and Angle-Closure. These variations can affect both eyes. The types of glaucoma include the following:

1) Open-Angle Glaucoma

This is the most common form of Glaucoma and affects the patient for life. It is caused when the eye’s drainage canal get blocked thus damaging the optic nerve. It accounts for over 90% of all Glaucoma cases.

2) Angle-Closure Glaucoma

Angle-Closure Glaucoma, also known as Narrow-Angle Glaucoma is the second most common type of Glaucoma. In this type, pressure in the eye is increased due to the fluid drainage because the angle in most areas between the iris and the retina are closed. Acute Angle-Closure Glaucoma is a medical emergency that requires immediate medical attention.

The surgery itself typically lasts between 15 to 20 minutes. However, if you add up the total time you spend with us (preparation, surgery, rest afterwards), the entire process takes between 2–3 hours.
