Cataracts (Motiyabind): Types, Causes, Symptoms, and Risk Factors

What is Motiyabind or Motia in the Eyes (Cataracts)?

Cataracts, also known as Motiyabind, refer to the clouding of the eye's clear lens, leading to blurred vision. This condition often makes it difficult for individuals to see clearly, much like looking through a foggy or frosted window. People with cataracts often experience issues like difficulty reading, driving (especially at night), or recognizing faces. Cataracts generally develop slowly with age but can worsen over time, eventually interfering with daily activities.

In the early stages, stronger lighting and prescription eyeglasses may help. However, once cataracts begin to significantly affect vision, surgery becomes a common recommendation. Cataract surgery is a highly effective and safe procedure that removes the clouded lens and replaces it with a clear artificial lens, restoring vision.

How Cataracts Form The eye’s lens is located behind the iris and focuses light on the retina, which then sends visual signals to the brain. When a cataract clouds the lens, the scattered light disrupts the clarity of vision, leading to blurred or dimmed sight. Cataracts typically result from changes in the proteins and fibers in the lens due to aging.

Causes of Cataracts Cataracts can form due to various factors, including:

Aging

Diabetes

Excessive exposure to sunlight or radiation

Smoking

Long-term use of steroids

Eye injuries

Hypertension

Obesity

Alcohol overconsumption

Types of Cataracts

Nuclear Cataracts: These form in the center of the lens, often causing the core to yellow or brown.

Cortical Cataracts: Begin as white, wedge-shaped streaks around the outer lens, eventually interfering with light passing through the center.

Posterior Capsular Cataracts: Affect the back of the lens and typically progress more quickly.

Congenital Cataracts: Can be present at birth or develop during childhood due to genetic conditions, infections, or trauma.

Symptoms of Cataracts

Blurred or cloudy vision

Difficulty seeing at night

Sensitivity to light

Fading or yellowing of colors

Seeing halos around lights

Frequent changes in prescription for glasses or contacts

Diagnosis and Treatment Eye specialists use various tests like visual acuity, slit-lamp exams, retinal exams, and intraocular pressure measurements to diagnose cataracts. If cataracts are detected, doctors may recommend stronger lenses initially. However, surgery is often necessary when the cataract starts disrupting daily life.

Cataract Surgery: Cataract surgery is a straightforward procedure, usually involving ultrasound waves to break up the lens (phacoemulsification) or removing the clouded lens through a small incision. Once the lens is removed, it is replaced with an artificial lens implant. This outpatient surgery is safe, with a success rate of about 98% in India. Patients can return home the same day and recover fully within 7-8 weeks.

Post-Surgery Care After surgery, mild discomfort, watery eyes, or sensitivity to light is common. Your doctor will recommend avoiding certain activities, such as heavy lifting or bending over, for a week.

Prevention To reduce the risk of developing cataracts, take these steps:

Wear UV-protective sunglasses outdoors

Get regular eye exams

Quit smoking

Maintain a healthy diet rich in antioxidants

Manage diabetes and other health conditions

we're in this phase III trial of this thing that is soooooooo cool and i want to talk about it sooooo bad but 1. no. 2. no one will understand me if i do. 3. no.

but its so wild to watch disease processes go from totally untreatable to like. one time novel solution. in half of a lifetime. like from "not only do we not know why this is happening or how to stop it but i can tell you that you're just going to go blind," to "well if you come in and get this done every x weeks actually you will preserve most of your vision" to "actually maybe we can just do this one procedure and the thing that robbed 25% of your family of the ability to read by age 75 will simply not be a problem for you"

had an eye doctor appointment since the one last year~~

my vision hasn't changed I think~~ is what they said.

insurance let me get new frames and lenses this year~~ so now I'll have 2 of the same prescription to wear~~

found some frames that match the pastel aesthetic i have going on, and the lens tint I have will work really well with them~~~

in bad news I've got a cataract in my good eye now~~~ as one of the nurses or someone helping me with glasses said "welcome to adulthood" so I guess that just happens huh?

if they ever wanted to operate on it; it'll be a last resort, so that hopefully nothing makes me lose the only vision that I have~~

hopefully it's not a fast growing one and messes with my vision really bad~~ :(

I don't want to lose what little vision I have~~~ I couldn't play video games anymore~~~ :(

I hope I'm not taking my vision for granted~~ I hope I'm not~~~ idek what that means tho right off hand~~

there's so much awesome stuff to see~~ sunsets, sun rises, clouds, rain, the plants that you're growing getting slowly bigger~~~ your sibling's adorably photogenic cat~~~~

I couldn't dream of losing the entirety of my vision :((((((

anxiety didn't get to me cause I finally took an "as needed" propranolol before the appointment~~~ and things went fine~~~

[greaserink]

dunno if it's me aging or if I should go see a doc but this past week I've gained 3 new floaters in my eyes and if I stare for more than 5 seconds I see darts of light shoot through my vision lol should I schedule an appointment????

[majicmarker]

word docs my nemesis

[thereareeyesinsidethetrees]

Okay I'm curious-

What eye color/s do you headcanon the Stan twins as having that aren't fully blue or brown?

I was thinking about how my headcanon for Ford's eye color doesn't fit either option. So, now I wanna know what other people headcanon!

[definitelynotshouting]

I have no idea how you manage to do extensive research if I was at your place I would do research and then be wrong about everything

OWDNWKDNWKD IM CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO TBH.... but really its just about hunting down the right resources and doing a lot of cross-referencing for me!!! I really enjoy learning new stuff and highly value accuracy so i have a lot of fun fishing for scientific papers and going on research binges for information i can use in a story-- sometimes it takes a minute to sift through the academic language so i can understand what its saying, but usually i can get the gist of what im reading, which helps a lot when i start cross-referencing with more layman-friendly articles :]

Turns out going to a casket viewing is viscerally upsetting, even without the several extenuating circumstances (including waiting in a half hour long receiving line surrounded by people who all know each other! The mormons turned out!) making me antsy. Thought I’d be in and out, give condolences to the family and leave but no! And this is going to sound stupid because I know it was this way from TV but the body was there! The casket was open!

Like I know I checked out and didn’t read a book about how the civil war affected how Americans treat death and now it’s a more private affair beyond the prologue but all my relatives were cremated!

So. New experience, lesson learned.
