As they grow older, many elderly people cannot avoid suffering from eye diseases such as presbyopia and cataracts. If someone tells you that you can cure presbyopia cataract by taking medicine, you should keep your eyes open and beware of being deceived!
What is a cataract?
A cataract is a clouding of the transparent lens. If the eye is compared to a camera, the lens is like a lens, which plays the role of concentrating light and imaging. Normally, the lens is transparent. Any cause that causes a decrease in the transparency or color of the lens, resulting in blurred vision and decreased vision, is called a cataract. Causes of cataractsCataract mainly refers to the eye disease caused by aging, heredity, local nutritional disorders, immune and metabolic abnormalities, trauma, poisoning, radiation and other reasons, resulting in lens protein degeneration and cloudiness. Cataract patients are often accompanied by symptoms such as blurred vision, double vision, photophobia, glare, dark shadow occlusion in front of the eyes, and deepening myopia. What is presbyopiaPresbyopia is caused by the aging of the ciliary muscles and lens that perform the function of regulation, resulting in the inability to adjust the position of light focus when looking at near objects. Cataract and presbyopia are the best ways to do soCurrently, presbyopia can only be seen through glasses or surgery. Because the opacity of the lens cannot be reversed, for cataract, the current drugs can only temporarily delay the development of cataract, and if you want to solve the problem of cataract, you still need to replace the cloudy lens with a transparent intraocular lens through surgery to achieve the purpose of seeing. At present, there are no drugs for presbyopia and cataract in clinical practice, so don't believe in home remedies!Refractive cataract surgeryWith the development of science and technology, cataract surgery technology is also being updated and iterative, and refractive cataract surgery can solve the problem of presbyopia at the same time. There is no longer a need to wear reading glasses after surgery, and the desire to remove the glasses can be realized for the elderly.
