What is Motiyabind (Cataract)?
A cataract occurs when the natural clear lens inside your eye becomes cloudy — like looking through a foggy window. Light can no longer pass through cleanly, leading to blurred or dim vision. It usually develops slowly and can affect one or both eyes. Many people don’t notice it until daily activities become harder.
Common Symptoms of Cataract/ Motiyabind
- Needing more light while reading – A tube light that once felt bright may suddenly feel inadequate.
- Frequent changes in eyeglass power – Particularly shifting toward the minus (near-sighted) side.
- Blurry vision – Everything looks less sharp
- Difficulty with night driving or crossing roads safely at night.
- Seeing Halos or rainbow circles around lights.
- Colors appear dull and faded
How Cataract/ Motiyabind Impacts Daily Life
Motiyabind or Cataract robs you of your independence as patients often tell us they struggle with:
- Driving confidently, especially at night.
- Recognising faces from a distance.
- Enjoy TV or reading without difficulty as vision is blurred and colors faded.
What is the treatment of Cataract/ Motiyabind?
Treatment of cataract as of now is cataract surgery with IOL (lens) implantation. In this the cataractous lens is removed with the help of laser (Laser cataract surgery) or ultrasound (phacoemulsification cataract surgery) and a clear lens is placed inside the eye which restores clear vision.
When Should You Get Cataract/ Motiyabind Surgery?
The old belief of “wait until cataract is fully mature” is outdated. With modern cataract surgical techniques available at Shroff Eye Centre, as soon as the cataract interferes with your daily activities whether that’s driving, working, or reading.
Your occupation and lifestyle matter too:
- Pilots, surgeons, and artists often need earlier intervention as clear vision is essential for their work.
- Seniors living at home may not feel an urgent need but still benefit from early treatment to avoid surgical complications later.
Our cataract specialists at Shroff Eye Centre take the time to understand your daily needs, lifestyle, and vision goals before advising surgery and which lens would be best for you.
Why should you not wait too long to get your cataract/ motiyabind treated?
If Cataract or Motiyabind becomes mature or too advanced:
- The lens becomes harder and this makes surgery more complex.
- More ultrasonic energy is required- which can affect surrounding eye structures
- Risk of complications becomes higher
That’s why our our cataract surgeons advise treating cataract before it is fully mature.

Can cataract/ motiyabind be prevented?
Cataract or motiyabind is an age-related process. As aging cannot be prevented, it is difficult to prevent cataracts.
Cataract develops earlier if you have had
- A previous eye injury or eye surgery
- Use steroids in any form
- Have diabetes mellitus
- Are on medications like anti-epileptics
Cataract cannot be prevented but progression may be slowed down a little with the following:
- Wearing UV-protective sunglasses.
- Keeping blood sugar and blood pressure under control.
- Consuming a balanced diet rich in anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals.
- Avoiding smoking.
- Scheduling regular eye check-ups every year
