Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], June 28: The number of cataract patients in India has been steadily increasing, driven by the country's aging population and the high prevalence of risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, and prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. According to recent studies, over 12 million individuals in India are affected by cataracts, and this number is expected to rise significantly in the coming years. The growing prevalence of cataracts is not only a major public health concern but also poses a significant economic burden due to the costs associated with treatment and loss of productivity. This surge in cataract cases underscores the urgent need for comprehensive eye care services and public health interventions. Despite advancements in medical technology and surgical techniques, access to quality cataract treatment remains uneven, particularly in rural and underserved areas. Efforts to address this challenge include increasing public awareness about cataracts, enhancing the availability of diagnostic and surgical facilities, and training more ophthalmologists to meet the rising demand for eye care services. Addressing these issues is critical to preventing vision impairment and ensuring a better quality of life for millions of individuals across India. ZEISS Group in India is proud to be at the forefront of revolutionizing cataract treatment with its innovative ZEISS Premium Cataract Workflow during ongoing Cataract Awareness Month.
