Cataract is a common eye disease, For the performance itself, or crystalline lens capsule opacification. Crystal like the camera lens, when it can be sold through the light when photos to. Our eyes can feel the reason colorful, because light from the eyes through the cornea and lens focused on the projection in the retina. Once Crystal turbidity, it will block the light into the eye, at this time, you will feel blurred vision, see objects darken, deformation, and even blindness. At present, the cataract is the first blinding eye disease.
The cause of cataracts is not yet fully understand, there are no particularly effective preventive measures. Cataract may be aging, genetic, excessive ultraviolet radiation, certain eye diseases such as inflammation related to a combination of factors, may also lead to traumatic cataract. If you pay attention to sunlight under a bright light Dai-protection, to avoid injury, will be beneficial to the protection of the eyes.
Senile cataract incidence of early symptoms not obvious, visual basic normal, as the occasional rainbow phenomenon may occur, that is, around lights at night to see a rainbow-like rings. Due to the slow progress in the course, the majority of patients in ophthalmology known when their checks had cataract. If there, vision problems,see objects dark, or even deformation showed symptoms of yellow, it indicates that cataracts have developed to a certain extent.
Surgical treatment is the best way
Cataract can be divided into senile cataract, congenital cataract and traumatic cataract, and other types, of which the most common age-related cataract, and more occurred on citizen over 60 years old, with the growth in direct proportion to age, over 70 years old incidence of 80% usually eyes incidence.
Apart from senile cataract, there are congenital cataracts, and other types of traumatic cataract. Congenital cataract development in the fetus developed in the course of varying degrees and different crystal forms of turbidity. By penetrating induced ocular lens opacification, as traumatic cataract, common to young people.
Diabetes will senile cataract advance, accelerate progress, such patients found that cataract surgery as soon as possible to facilitate the treatment of diabetic retinal lesions.
Cataract No effects of treatment drugs, surgical treatment is the best way to restore eyesight is as safe, effective, very high success rate. The current cataract surgery has been very popular in China. For the vast rural areas, still used mainly outside the capsule or Intracapsular cataract extraction, required to wear large degree after the convex lens, vision correction This is more economic. In regions where conditions permit, use of the Joint Microsurgery phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation surgery, postoperative visual recovery faster.
Do not "cooked" to surgery
Many people may listens said, senile cataract "cooked" after surgery can be. But now do not have to wait that long. The so-called "mature" refers to the mature stage and then turbidity development to the whole crystal, could only identify the number of fingers in front of us whether or shaking hands. Traditional cataract surgery because of the limitations of technical means, only to the development of cataracts in mature or nearly mature stage it would only be appropriate surgery. However, as the popularity of Microsurgery phacoemulsification technology and the application of cataract patients can have the surgery earlier.
In order to ensure access to good results surgery, doctors will preoperative patients in a full body check. Surgery usually carried out under local anesthesia, the patient is fully aware of doctors in the surgery and not feel pain, therefore, you should as much as possible to easily cope with the feelings of doctors, to obtain the best effect.
With cataract surgery technologies continue to improve, after care also greatly simplified, out-patient surgery patients generally need only rest can be discharged home. Poor health conditions in patients with inpatient surgery, the general observation in the hospital for one or two days can be discharged. In addition, we should require doctors to the hospital in accordance with the review, particularly if they feel uncomfortable eyes, as a strong pain, blurred vision, etc., should be kept to the hospital for an examination.
