Cataract surgery is the sure and safe way to get rid of the cataract problem. The crystalline lens that form in the eyes result in partial blindness and blurred visions. There are three chief types of surgeries for cataract that a person can opt for. These are Intracapsular cataract extraction abbreviated as ICCE, Phacoemulsification and the Extracapsular cataract extraction the abbreviation of which is ECCE.

Most doctors consider the Intracapsular cataract extraction or ICCE to be outdated but even then this surgery is performed in today’s world. Many complications arise due to this surgery and so this surgery is not generally performed. Even the Extracapsular cataract extraction or ECCE can give rise to various complications. Eye surgeons around the world prefer to go with Phacoemulsification that requires the removal of the nucleus by making a small incision. This operation takes only twenty minutes time and the patients can go home once the surgery is completed. A few antibiotic eye drops are good enough to take good care of the eyes.

Astigmatism is a disease of the eye when the cornea is irregular or oblong in shape and refracts the light entering the eyes to two or more focal points. This causes vision to be blurred at all distances unlike short sightedness or far sightedness. Depending on the severity of astigmatism, the corrective means are decided. Corrective contact lenses and spectacles are for those who suffer from minor or medium astigmatism. However, laser surgery is a way to correct severe astigmatism. Symptoms of astigmatism are blurred and dim vision at all distances, fatigued eye, headache and lack of concentration while reading.

Laser surgery is available in two methods, LASIK and PRK. Lasik involves creation of a flap in the front eye and vaporizing the underlying layer by laser. PRK does not create a flap over the eye but removal of the front layer before creating an underlying layer. Regular astigmatism can be cured with lenses or surgery as per severity, irregular astigmatism is not curable.
