Cataract

Cataract

A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens, which normally helps focus light onto the retina for clear vision. As the lens becomes cloudy, vision becomes blurry, dull, or hazy, making everyday tasks like reading, driving, or recognizing faces difficult. Cataracts usually develop with age but can also occur due to injury, certain medications, or medical conditions like diabetes. At Dr. Praveen Eye Hospital and Research Centre, we provide advanced diagnostic tests and modern cataract surgery techniques, including painless and stitchless procedures, to restore clear vision and improve quality of life. Early detection and timely treatment can help prevent significant vision loss.
