Cataract

 Cataract is a disease in which the lenses of the eyes become blurred. It causes  deterioration or loss of vision. An unaffected lens allows light to pass through the back of the eye. In cataracts the proteins in the eyes break down and the lens becomes cloudy, preventing light from flowing.

Both glaucoma and cataracts are associated with aging and can develop in one or both eyes. Glaucoma is caused by damage to the optic nerve, which can lead to sudden loss of vision.Symptoms of glaucoma include severe pain in the eyes and head, blurred vision and the appearance of rainbow circles around bright lights. Its treatment, as in cataracts, may include laser and traditional surgery.

The lens of the eye works just like a camera. It focuses light on the retina in the back of the eye, then transmits nerve signals to the brain and adjusts the focus of the eye, allowing us to see things clearly from up close and far. With natural wear with age it causes a buildup of proteins which blurs the lens and gradually impairs vision. Cataract usually develops over a long time, but it cannot spread as an infection from one eye to the other.

Doctor's visit and types of treatment

Cataract treatment is surgical. If you experience a decrease in vision, consult an eye doctor immediately. You will be given a comprehensive eye exam to test your vision strength, as well as a phoscopic examination and an extended eye examination to determine the cause of your impaired vision. If cataracts are confirmed, your eye doctor may have increase the prescription of corrective glasses or lenses. If that doesn't help, I will recommend a cataract surgery that can almost completely restore your vision.

There are various types of cataract surgery, including phacoemulsification, which is most common. This operation uses ultrasound energy to break down the cataract. It is then sucked out of the affected eye and replaced with prosthetic lenses.

Another type of cataract surgery is extracapsular extraction. It involves manual removal of the ophthalmic lens while leaving the capsule intact. After removal of the lens, an  intraocular lens or IOL is placed, and after surgery, you will be asked to wear an eye patch and put on an eye shield at night. and retinal detachment may occur, but not often.

Cataract treatment is called laser eye surgery, which utilizes advanced femtosecond laser technology. The use of a femtosecond laser procedure in the treatment of cataracts has been approved by the US FDA. The method is safe even for patients with other eye diseases, such as macular degeneration (AMD).
