Young people can get cataracts too?Don't believe it, recently, the 23-year-old girl Xiao Zhao unfortunately ran into it. Xiao Zhao has been seeing clearly in her left eye for nearly two years, and she feels that the vision of her left eye has been declining, and even affects her daily life and work, so she came to Yuncheng Aier Eye Hospital to seek further **.
After Wang Zhiqiang's examination of Xiao Zhao, it was found that her unaided visual acuity in her right eye was 06. The unaided visual acuity of the left eye is only 006。Xiao Zhao has a history of diabetes for 11 years, and after a detailed examination by President Wang Zhiqiang, he was diagnosed with metabolic cataract in both eyes. Hearing this answer, Xiao Zhao was very shocked: "Isn't cataract an eye disease only for the elderly?"I'm only 23 years old, how can I have it?”
It is true that the main ** of cataract is aging, but it is not exclusive to the elderly and can occur at any age. President Wang Zhiqiang emphasized that the risk of cataract in diabetic patients is 2 5 times that of the general population, and the occurrence time of cataract is earlier than that of the general population, and true diabetic cataract is more common in adolescents under the age of 30 with severe type 1 diabetes.
For the surgical method, Dean Wang Zhiqiang suggested that Xiao Zhao choose femtosecond laser. Femtosecond laser is a precise, safe and minimally invasive surgical method, which can ensure the rotational stability and good long-term effect of astigmatism crystals.
Dean Wang Zhiqiang introduced that femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery is also known as "knifeless surgery", the entire femtosecond laser process is digitally controlled by the computer system, and the entire surgical design is completed by using computer programs through examination data before surgery, which can be accurately positioned and cut, and then the doctor makes the laser incision, astigmatism and the production of the capsule and the entire splitting nucleus according to the entire surgical process, and then completes the remaining surgical steps through phacoemulsification aspiration. Especially in the capsular tearing link, under the femtosecond laser, the anterior capsule incision of the lens is not only more accurate, perfect annular and better centered than manual cataract surgery, but also has strong repeatability and scalability, which can better ensure the centering of the intraocular lens and achieve 360° optical coverage.
Therefore, the femtosecond laser-assisted refractive cataract surgery not only makes the operation more standardized, but also makes the postoperative more stable, effectively ensures the patient's good visual effect after surgery, and greatly improves the patient's comfort and satisfaction. Considering that Xiao Zhao is still very young and has very high requirements for visual quality, Dean Wang Zhiqiang suggested that she choose a stepless intraocular lens. The intraocular lens is a very friendly intraocular lens for Asians, who have shorter arms than Europeans and Africans, so they are used to a closer eye distance, with an average of 3395 cm. It provides a complete continuous visual range, which solves the problem of sudden drop in vision between different focal points, and provides superior near vision at closer distances.
With the assistance of femtosecond laser, Dean Wang Zhiqiang completed the cataract phacoemulsification combined with stepless intraocular lens implantation surgery for Xiao Zhao. After the postoperative examination, Xiao Zhao's distal, medium and near visual acuity in his left eye was 10, indicating very satisfied.
