5 Warning Signs You Need Urgent Cataract Surgery

“Cataracts” can be easily treated if symptoms are detected and addressed early. Watch for these 5 dangerous warning signs:
1. Blurred vision, seeing things as if covered by fog or haze, worsening especially in bright light
2. White cloudy spots on the pupil, which may be small or large
3. Double vision, blurry eyes, sensitivity to light, and seeing halos around lights
4. Increasing nearsightedness or frequent changes in prescription requiring new glasses often
5. If left untreated and worsened, it may develop into glaucoma or iritis, causing eye pain, redness, and even blindness

Cataracts usually occur in adults over 40 years old. If you experience any of these 5 symptoms, see a doctor immediately. Treatment is typically done through surgery by breaking down the cataract with high-frequency sound waves (Phacoemulsification). This process dissolves the cloudy lens and replaces it with an artificial lens. Patients must wait until the cataract has fully matured or the cloudy white spot is at a stage suitable for surgery.

Synphaet Lam Luk Ka Hospital offers standardized high-frequency cataract surgery packages starting at 45,000 – 98,500 THB, supported by a team of expert doctors.

However, cataracts are not as frightening as they seem if you have regular eye exams, rest your eyes frequently, get enough sleep, eat vitamin A-rich foods, and have annual eye health check-ups. This helps preserve your eyesight for longer.
