Infant Cataract: A Long & Winding Road to Achieve Vision 2020
Infant Cataract: A Long & Winding Road to Achieve Vision 2020
Coimbatore, 11th July 2019
According to a report by the World Health Organization, every minute a child goes blind somewhere in the world. One of the major reasons of childhood blindness in India can be attributed to ‘Paediatric Cataract’. It affects nearly 15 of every 10,000 births in India, resulting in approximately 2,80,000 to 3, 20,000 visually impaired children being born each year. Around 10 million people have no eyesight, as a result of childhood cataract which accounts for nearly 14% of the approximate 70 million blind people affected by childhood blindness.
The good news is that paediatric cataract is treatable and can help save some of these ‘blind years’ lost by the children. It is imperative, that we keep a logical and tactical approach towards the management of childhood cataract for better diagnosis and treatment. However, better treatment is possible only after an accurate and timely diagnosis. What makes things difficult for the parents is their inability to identify that their child may be suffering from a vision defect as generally, there are not many visible symptoms at the onset of the problem. Usually, they get the child’s eyes tested only when the child complains or they notice that their child’s vision is deteriorating.
Types & Symptoms
Paediatric cataract is of two types – congenital and development. The first affects the foetus or closer to the time of birthing and is called congenital paediatric cataract. The defect can be due to reasons as varied as a nutritional deficiency in mothers, infections or drug reactions. Additionally, if a mother suffers from gestational diabetes or metabolic disorders, this can also cause the child to develop paediatric cataract as the disease from the mother can affect the child’s ocular development.
The symptoms of childhood cataract varies from child to child. It depends on many factors such as, how cloudy the lens is; where exactly is the cloudiness; if it’s one or both the eyes that are affected. Initial symptoms include blurred vision, seeing ‘halos’ around light, fading or yellowing of colours, sensitivity to light, white or grey pupil. Many such cases also turn out to be a symptom of retinoblastoma, squint eyes that look in different directions, and wobbling, rapid or uncontrolled eye movements.
Treatment & Prevention
Apart from irreversible damage to the eyesight, childhood cataracts can also cause lazy eyes and severe blindness if not treated promptly. If the cataract in child’s eye has stopped vision development, it is advisable to go for a surgical removal of the affected lens and replacing it with artificial lens and contact lenses, or even glasses in some cases. While cataract surgery improves the vision, it is impossible to measure the effectiveness of it. Possibility of having a clear vision may or may not be completely attained, and there are possibilities of reduced vision in the affected eye(s). The concern of reduced vision will always require regular follow-ups and eye check-ups.
It is unlikely that cataracts can be prevented, particularly for those who have a family history of this. This is important also because the detection of under-development or ill-condition of the ocular system is not possible in the womb. Dietary modifications may be needed as per the ongoing medications (if any). Gestational diabetes is a condition that can affect the sight of a child if the condition is mismanaged. Hence, it is important to keep it in check. As detection of under-development or ill-condition of ocular system is not possible in the womb, it is best to take up these preventive measures for a healthy development of foetus. The evaluation of health and body functions is done only after a child’s birth and hence pregnant mothers must be taken care of.
Given issues plaguing our society at large, such as poverty, ignorance and poor diets especially when it comes to women, paediatric cataract is likely to remain a cause for concern. This is where communication related to behaviour change addressing pregnant mothers and older women can make a significant difference to neo-natal health in rural India.
The surgery for paediatric cataract is very challenging, however reintegration either by glasses, contact lenses or the primary IOL implantation can prove to be helpful.
Parent Counselling
The treatment of the childhood cataract starts after surgery. Surgery is the first step towards management and betterment of the disease, post diagnosis. Parents need to understand this and make sure that follow-ups and treatment is done on a timely basis. Despite the IOL implantation, they need to assure that the child wears contact lenses or glasses. The successful management of childhood cataract is completed only if regularity in treatment and care is maintained.
Ather Energy expands to Chennai: Launches Ather 450
After a successful run in Bengaluru, Ather Energy officially began accepting pre-orders from consumers for its Ather 450 in Chennai. This is the second city the company is entering after its commercial launch in June 2018.
Ather’s flagship scooter has seen great traction from owners and reviewers and has changed the market’s expectation of two wheelers.
Last weekend, Ather offered early access test rides to its followers in Chennai and showcased the 450 prior to its official launch. The event was focused on the Ather community that the company has built and had fifty Bengaluru owners travel to Chennai to share their ownership journey. This pre-launch event saw resounding response and the Ather 450 has already sold out till November in Chennai. The company is now opening pre-orders for its second limited batch of deliveries.
The on-road price of the Ather 450 is INR. 131,683 and Ather 340 will be priced at INR.119,091 in Chennai. The price includes the regulation 2 helmets, along with the FAME 2 subsidy and other basics like insurance, road tax, GST, and other fees.
Ather had begun the installation of its Ather Grid points in Chennai in May 2019. Since then, Chennai has seen installation of ten fast charging points. These charging points can be found in malls like Forum Vijaya Mall, offices like AtWorks and cafes, restaurants, and even grocery stores. To encourage adoption of EVs in the city, Ather Energy will provide free charging at Ather Grid till December 2019 for all electric 4Ws & 2Ws and will add 40-50 more charging points to their network.
The company will be opening Ather Space, the experience center at Wallace Garden, Nungambakkam on 24th July. Consumers can test ride vehicles at Space and get an in-depth view of electric vehicles and their usage.
The company has announced free Ather One subscription for all the deliveries in 2019, starting with the September batch. The Ather One plan offers customers free access to; public and home charging; regular maintenance inclusive of consumables; breakdown assistance; and unlimited data services at only INR 700 + GST monthly.
The company is increasing the production capacity of its manufacturing facility to ramp up deliveries in Bengaluru and Chennai. The waiting period for the vehicles has come down enabling faster deliveries to customers in the last month.
Quote by Tarun Mehta, Co-founder & CEO, Ather Energy:
“After the successful launch in Bengaluru, we are excited to enter Chennai, where Ather was born. There is an incredible amount of excitement and awareness of electric vehicles in the city. This was evident in the pre-launch event when we sold out our first batch of deliveries before the official launch in Chennai. Two out of three consumers pre-ordered a vehicle, some even before taking a test ride. We now believe that Chennai will be a bigger market than Bengaluru for us. We have spent the past year scaling up to meet the demand for Bengaluru and have been building more features and improvements on the 450. We have been experimenting with new forms of ownership like lease and are excited to launch the same in Chennai.”
The Product – The Ather 450 is exclusively designed to suit the city’s riding conditions. It has a top speed of 80 km/hr, a range of 75 km (IDC range of 107 km) and one of the quickest accelerations (0-40 km/hr) in the scooter category of 3.9 seconds. Also, for the first time in the category, Ather 450 comes with parking assist, which allows riders to reverse into tight parking spots.
The key differentiator of the Ather 450 is its intelligent features, seamless charging and ownership experience. The Ather 450 has a 7” touchscreen dashboard that allows onboard navigation with options of alternate routes and saved locations. It comes with the Ather app that enables push navigation from the phone to the vehicle dashboard, remote monitoring of the vehicle’s health and charge status.
The Ather 450 comes with a home charging Point, that will be installed by the company at either owners’ home or workplace. The company has introduced six major OTA updates on the vehicle since launch. These updates have enabled new improved features on the vehicle and the app, ranging from new ride modes, range and navigation improvements to ride statistics on the Ather app.

Addressing the audience, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Thiru Edappadi K Palaniswami said: “Health has always been an area of concern and challenge for the Government. However, Tamil Nadu has always been a forerunner in ophthalmology. The state hosts many premier eye institutes which train aspiring ophthalmologists in advanced skills and technology, who then go on to serve patients in different parts of the country. This is much needed due to huge prevalence of eye disorders in India such as cataract, glaucoma, retina and cornea diseases, etc. The country leads the world in terms of number of people who are visually impaired. There are 12 million blind people and 450 million people requiring vision correction. Conferences like the IIRSI play a very important role in enhancing the skills of Indian eye surgeons to address this huge challenge.”
Said Prof. Amar Agarwal, Secretary General, IIRSI, and Chairman, Dr Agarwal’s Eye Hospital: “The annual conference of IIRSI has become a pivotal event in the ophthalmology calendar of India centred around global ophthalmic innovations. This year, 20 top eye surgeons from countries like from US, Turkey, Brazil, Germany, Egypt and Switzerland are participating to showcase to the Indian surgeons the latest advancements in the field. The event has several innovations to benefit the participants. We hope this largest annual assembly of ophthalmologists in India will go a long way in helping enhancing the advanced eye care skills of Indian eye surgeons and bridging the technology gap with their Western peers. Overall, IIRSI has been instrumental in significantly increasing the capabilities and offerings of the eyecare sector in India in terms of diagnostics and treatment.”
Said Dr. C Vijayabaskar, Hon’ble Minister of Health & Family Welfare, Govt. of Tamil Nadu: “I am glad that Chennai is hosting such a prestigious event of ophthalmologists from India and the world, and I am delighted to see thousands of experts participating. Such a national platform would enable Indian eye surgeons to have an edge in treating patients with latest technology for eye disorders like cataract, glaucoma and refractive errors. The eyecare infrastructure existing in Tamil Nadu is world-class and offers quality treatment at an affordable cost. I hope that the state emerges as among the top destinations in the world for medical tourism for patients suffering from complex eye disorders.”
IIRSI 2019 has several interesting features this year. In Ophthalmic Premier League, participants will showcase their most challenging cataract case through videos. The ‘Meet and Greet’ program will allow attendees to sit at a faculty member’s table for an exclusive discussion. The ‘Court Martial’ brings on stage a panorama of scientific challenges faced by surgeons in ophthalmology and discusses the intense decision-making involved and its outcome. A hands-on Wetlab course, an ophthalmic photography competition and film festival and Live surgery are programs that will benefit the participating eye surgeons immensely. Live surgical sessions will be telecast directly from Dr. Agarwals Eye Hospital.
The two-day event is being held on July 6 and 7 at ITC Grand Chola Hotel in Chennai. Details and agenda are available on www.iirsi.com
