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) rays. radiation. According to recent studies, more than 12 million people in India are affected by cataracts and this number is expected to increase significantly in the coming years. The increasing prevalence of cataracts is not only a major public health problem but also poses a significant economic burden due to costs associated with treatment and loss of productivity.

This increase in cataract cases underscores the urgent need for comprehensive eye care services and public health interventions. Despite advances in medical technology and surgical techniques, access to quality cataract treatment remains unequal, especially in rural and underserved areas. Efforts to address this challenge include increasing public awareness of cataracts, improving the availability of surgical and diagnostic facilities, and training more ophthalmologists to meet the growing demand for eye care services. Addressing these issues is critical to preventing visual impairment and ensuring a better quality of life for millions of people across India.
