"You're a monkey too? What a coincidence! "Yes, it's a pleasure to know you, old sister! In the outpatient hall on the second floor of Huiguang Aier Eye Hospital, Grandma Huang from Dongyuan Town "encountered" Grandma Chen from Shanxia Town, the two elderly people were both 93 years old, and they came to the hospital on the same day for treatment and cataract surgery on the same day.
Grandma Huang, both 93 years old, and Grandma Chen "met" by chance at the Huiguang Aier Eye Clinic
From the chat, I learned that 93-year-old Grandma Huang was diagnosed with cataracts in both eyes very early, but she was lucky and did not actively operate. In recent years, Huang Apo's binocular vision has deteriorated, and three months ago, her binocular vision deteriorated to the point that she could barely see clearly, so she went to Huiguang Aier Eye Hospital for treatment accompanied by her children. As a peer, Grandma Chen empathized with Grandma Huang's "troubles", and her eyes not only became more and more difficult to see, but also had splitting headaches from time to time.
Dean Wang Jiefeng explained the condition to cataract patients.
After Wang Jiefeng, the business director of Huiguang Aier Eye Hospital, received treatment from the two elderly people, he found that the elderly not only had severe cataracts, but also accompanied by deafness, and communication was a big problem. Due to the severe cataract, the lens is hard, and the deafness, hunchback, and inconvenience of hands and feet greatly increase the difficulty of surgery. After patient communication, Dean Wang Jiefeng's team conducted a detailed whole body and eye examination for the two elderly people, and after a comprehensive evaluation, a suitable surgical plan was formulated. On February 27, Dean Wang Jiefeng successfully performed cataract surgery for two elderly people, and on the first day after surgery, the two elderly people sighed that their eyes saw things much clearer, and their vision recovered well after reexamination. "I am very grateful to the medical staff of Huiguang Aier Eye Hospital for their meticulous care and care, I am really touched by the kindness and warmth of family to me, and the environment here is also very good. Grandma Chen said with a smile. On the day of discharge, the two old people made a special appointment to say goodbye, and they held each other's hands tightly and were reluctant to let go when they parted.
According to the Global Eye Health Survey Report 2021-2022, the incidence of cataracts in people aged 60 and 89 is about 80%, and the incidence of cataracts in people over 90 years old is as high as more than 90%. Wang Jiefeng, business director of Huiguang Aier Eye Hospital, said that cataracts can lead to serious vision loss, and if not timely, it may cause a series of serious complications such as glaucoma and even blindness, which is the world's first blinding eye disease. At present, cataract surgery is the only effective method of cataract, but many elderly patients and their families are afraid of surgery, fearing that surgery will be risky when they are older, which will lead to a delay in the disease. In fact, with the advancement of modern medical technology, the safety of cataract surgery has been greatly improved, and there is no shortage of cases of centenarians doing cataract surgery in the industry! Early cataract surgery for the elderly can not only improve their vision and improve their ability to live, but also reduce accidental injuries caused by blurred vision.
Cataracts should be examined early, detected early, and detected early! In particular, once the elderly have symptoms such as blurred vision, dark shadows in front of their eyes, and presbyopia, it is recommended to go to the ophthalmology hospital for examination in time, and cataract surgery as soon as possible can reduce complications during the operation. President Wang Jiefeng appealed: There is no age limit for cataract surgery, and the success of the two 93-year-old elderly people shows that as long as the elderly patients have a perfect preoperative examination, exclude relevant surgical contraindications, and formulate a suitable surgical plan, they can regain their sight through surgery. I hope that everyone will care more and spend more time with their elderly parents, find eye health problems and solve them in time, so that they can live happily in their old age.
