A cataract happens when the natural lens of your eye becomes cloudy, making it hard to see clearly. Any opacity in the lens or its capsule is called a cataract. It’s one of the main reasons people lose vision as they grow older. But the good news is — it can be treated with a simple and safe surgery.
In India and Nepal, cataract is the number one cause of blindness. Many people delay treatment out of fear or lack of information. At Kiran Eye Hospital, we’re here to help you understand and overcome it with trusted care and modern technology.
Cataracts can develop due to aging, long-term health problems like diabetes, eye injuries, or even from birth. Smoking, radiation, or using steroid medicines for a long time can also lead to cataracts. In many cases, it’s just a natural part of getting older — but thankfully, it’s also easily treatable.
Cataract often starts slowly and may not disturb your eyesight early on. But over time, you might notice cloudy or blurry vision, difficulty seeing at night, or glare from sunlight or headlights. Some people feel like they’re looking through a foggy window, or need frequent changes in their glasses. If any of this sounds familiar, it’s time for an eye checkup.
There is no medicine or eye drops to cure cataract. The only treatment is cataract surgery, where the cloudy lens is removed and replaced with a clear artificial lens (called an Intraocular Lens or IOL).

No, it is done under local anesthesia and is mostly painless.
Most patients resume daily activities within 24-48 hours.
Mostly, yes. But children and young adults can also get cataracts due to injury, diabetes, or being born with it.
It depends on the type of lens implanted. Premium lenses can reduce the need for glasses.
