Dr. Hardik Shroff treats cataract, a clouding of the natural lens of the eye. It develops gradually and can cause blurred or misty vision, glare around lights, faded colours, and difficulty seeing at night. Cataract is treated with surgery, in which the clouded lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens. Not every cataract needs surgery immediately. Your eye doctor will advise when the time is right, based on how much the cataract affects your daily life and your overall eye health.
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions in which the optic nerve is damaged, often linked to raised pressure inside the eye. It can progress slowly and, in many people, without early symptoms, which is why regular check-ups matter, especially if glaucoma runs in the family or you are over 40. Vision lost to glaucoma cannot be restored, so early detection is important. Management may include eye drops, laser treatment, or surgery, with regular follow-up to monitor eye pressure and the optic nerve.
Laser treatments are used in eye care for several purposes, including treating certain retinal and glaucoma conditions and correcting refractive errors. LASIK is a laser procedure that reshapes the cornea to reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses in suitable patients. Not everyone is a candidate. Suitability depends on factors such as your eye prescription, corneal thickness, and overall eye health, and it is decided only after a detailed evaluation.
Regular eye check-ups help detect problems early, even when vision seems fine. See an eye doctor if you notice blurred vision, eye pain, redness that does not settle, frequent headaches, floaters, flashes of light, or difficulty seeing at night. Sudden loss of vision, a sudden shower of floaters, or an eye injury needs urgent attention, so do not wait for a routine appointment. Adults with diabetes or a family history of eye disease should have their eyes examined regularly.
Carry your current glasses or contact lenses, earlier eye reports and prescriptions, and a list of the medicines you take. Tell the doctor about any health conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure, allergies, and previous eye surgery. Some tests use eye drops that can blur vision for a few hours, so plan to have someone accompany you, and avoid driving straight afterwards if you are advised against it.
