How Does Surgery Work for Traumatic Cataract?
Traumatic cataract surgery is a specialised procedure performed when an injury to the eye causes the natural lens to turn cloudy. The goal of the surgery is to remove the damaged lens safely and restore clarity using an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Because trauma affects each eye differently, the procedure is customized based on the type and extent of the injury.
During surgery, the ophthalmologist makes a small incision and uses advanced techniques such as phacoemulsification or manual cataract extraction to remove the affected lens. If the trauma has caused additional issues—like torn capsules, zonular weakness, or inflammation—these are addressed during the procedure. A suitable IOL is then placed to stabilize the lens position and improve vision. In some complex cases, special lenses or sutured IOLs may be required.
Most patients recover vision gradually over a few weeks, depending on the severity of the trauma and associated eye injuries. With timely treatment and expert surgical care, traumatic cataract surgery offers excellent chances of restoring functional, clearer vision.
