As we all know that our parents are getting older and older, our eyesight is not as good as before, but do you really know the vision of your parents?
If you see the world, like the ** above, will your life still be smooth?How would you feel if your parents could see the world as it was in the picture above?
So, how hard is the world of parents?Things that we don't take for granted and take for granted can cause them a lot of difficulties.
The world of myopia and presbyopia is even more difficult, and it is difficult to see clearly from afar and near, and it often takes two pairs of glasses to change to meet daily needs.
Gradient focus glasses, which can see clearly, from far to mid and near, have high requirements for the accuracy of various glasses parameters. In addition, going to a professional eye hospital for glasses will also conduct a micro-physical examination of the eyes to check for other eye diseases.
Like the ones usually sold on the roadside, very cheap reading glasses and myopia glasses are ready-made prescriptions, and it is very difficult to find a pair of glasses that suit you, because the myopia power and astigmatism are different, and the requirements for lenses are different.
The advantages of gradient focus glasses are well known, you can get a pair of glasses from a distance and a near look, with a beautiful appearance, no obvious image jumping phenomenon, and a clear vision from far to near continuity.
Gradient focus glasses are divided into hard and soft designs according to the speed change of the gradient zone. Rigid designIt can adapt to higher near-attaching luminosity and provide better near-sightingHowever, the aberration is more obvious, the gradient region is narrower, and the swimming interference is more obvious. Soft designThe aberration distribution is softer and better adapted;However, the requirements for the downspin force of the wearer are high.
The first step to ensure the success of the prescription of progressive focus glasses is to choose a qualified and regular professional hospital to conduct a professional pre-fitting examination, communicate with the customer before fitting or find potential unsuitable factors through the examination, only in this way can the follow-up work be meaningful, and the glasses are the most suitable for you.
If you don't want your parents to endure the pain of wearing glasses, we can also do eye surgery for your parents to improve their vision. The most common age-related eye disease is cataract, which is easy to develop in old age, and now that medical conditions are very developed, there is no need to worry about the restrictions of age on cataract surgery.
Cataract patients will feel as if they are covered with ground glass in front of their eyes, or as if they are living in a mist, and they cannot see clearly and foggyIn some cases, there may be gray colors or decreased vision at night.
Cataract is the world's number one blinding eye disease, with an incidence of up to 70% in people over 60 years of age and increasing with age. If it is not timely and effective**, it will seriously affect the quality of life of the patient.
Surgery is currently the only direct and effective method for cataracts。Today's mainstream cataract surgery is phacoemulsification, which involves crushing and sucking out the cloudy lens through a tiny inclement (about 2 mm in size) and implanting a transparent artificial lens (scientific name "intraocular lens").
Cataract surgery can now even be assisted by femtosecond lasers, making the surgery safer, more efficient and more precise. The development of surgical methods and intraocular lenses makes cataract surgery solve cataract surgery at the same time, but also solve the existence of high myopia, high farsightedness, or astigmatism before the operation, and overcome presbyopia to a certain extent.
Can a person with diabetes have cataract surgery?
Diabetic patients can have cataract surgery if their blood sugar is well controlled. Diabetic patients can control blood sugar through oral hypoglycemic drugs, insulin, diet control, exercise, etc., if the blood sugar is not well controlled, it is more likely to cause secondary infection after surgery, resulting in surgical failure, so diabetic patients must strictly follow the doctor's instructions before and after surgery to control blood sugar so as not to affect wound healing and lead to surgical failure. It is important to note that people with diabetes are not only more likely to develop cataracts more often and earlier than non-diabetic patients, but also that cataracts may progress more quickly after cataracts occur than in the general population, so they should be developed early**.
Is it dangerous for a 70-year-old to have cataract surgery?
Whether cataract surgery for a 70-year-old is dangerous depends on his physical condition, whether he has indications, etc. Age is not a contraindication to cataract surgery, in general, if cataract significantly affects the patient's visual function and quality of life, and cataract surgery can improve the patient's vision, and the patient's cataract is not caused by a systemic or ocular disease, the patient has no active ocular inflammation, fundus lesions, and physical condition that can tolerate cataract surgery, no infectious disease, With the development of science and technology, cataract surgery technology is more mature, there are fewer contraindications, and 70-year-old patients who have improved preoperative examination and surgical risk assessment can also undergo cataract surgery.
How Long After Cataract Surgery Can I Return To Normal Vision?
Generally speaking, the visual acuity of the affected eye can be significantly improved on the second day after surgery, and some patients may improve their visual acuity after 3 to 5 days due to corneal edema and other conditions after surgery, but generally speaking, it takes about 1 to 3 months for the patient's vision to reach a stable state, and the vision can be corrected by optometry glasses. It is important to note that the visual prognosis may be related to the fundus.
All in all, don't let your parents be abandoned by the times.
