Are young people with high myopia more likely to develop cataracts?

High myopia is careful of cataracts, the degree of myopia is too high, which will lead to the onset of cataracts. The following is a brief introduction to the relationship between high myopia and cataracts, I hope it will help you!

What is the relationship between high myopia and cataracts?

Cataract is a disease caused by a variety of factors, the incidence of cataract is rising, people do not have a good effective prevention of cataract in daily life, cataract patients should be cared for after the disease to avoid the disease. Many people think that cataracts are a sign when they can't see with their eyes, but this is a misunderstanding.

Visual acuity is reduced to the following level and the lens is clouded, which is defined as a cataract. It is understood that the incidence of cataract in people over 70 years old in China has reached 60%, and in recent years, the number of middle-aged cataract patients in their forties and fifties has increased significantly.

High myopia is careful of cataracts, myopia above 800 degrees will induce fundus lesions, so that the age of cataract onset is greatly advanced.

Cataracts, which are exclusive to geriatric diseases, are gradually getting younger, and the increase in patients with high myopia is an important reason that cannot be ignored. "Cataracts are no longer the preserve of the elderly, and young people with high myopia should beware of cataracts. ”

Rest should be taken to avoid excessive exposure to radiation for a long time. Long-term exposure to long-wave ultraviolet radiation can avoid chronic accumulation of lens damage, induce or accelerate the formation and development of cataracts, so avoid strong sunlight and lights. Take good rest and develop good habits.

Nowadays, many young people sit in front of the computer for a long time and often use mobile phones, resulting in a younger trend in the incidence of cataracts. The age at which cataracts develop cataract now drops to 35 years old, compared to around 50 years old in the past. Cataracts should also be treated in a timely manner** to avoid more serious consequences.

Eye cataract is no longer only for the elderly, first of all, the eye cataract tends to be younger, often surfing the Internet, playing with mobile phones, reading books and playing various electronic products. Radiation is very harmful to the eyes and is also one of the causes of eye cataracts. It is recommended to pay more attention to eye protection and do some eye exercises.

When it comes to cataracts, everyone often has a question, why do some people get cataracts at the age of 50 and need surgery**, and some people still have good eyesight at the age of 80?

In addition to the great impact of individual differences in the onset time of cataracts, some behaviors in our daily life may also accelerate the development of cataracts!

1. Unbalanced nutrient intake. If there is a long-term deficiency of trace elements such as vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, and carotene, it will accelerate the development of cataracts.

2. Suffering from metabolic diseases. For example, diabetes mellitus can also accelerate the clouding of crystals.

3. Long-term ultraviolet radiation will promote the occurrence of oxidation damage to the lens, resulting in lens degeneration and turbidity.

4. Have bad habits such as drinking a lot of alcohol and smoking.

5. Long-term use of certain drugs, such as glucocorticoids, chlorpromazine, mydriatic agents, etc.

High myopia has the potential to cause cataracts to develop prematurely, also known as concurrent cataracts. This situation is actually more common in clinical practice, especially for some ultra-high myopia, such as myopia above 1000 degrees, this kind of people generally reach the middle and old age, due to the development of high myopia, the eye axis is gradually elongated, which leads to changes in the intraocular environment, so it may cause cataract to appear in advance. Therefore, for patients with high myopia, cataract occurs much earlier than normal people, and many patients with high myopia have cataract at the age of 40-50 and need surgery.

This situation is also a common disease in ophthalmology, after the occurrence of concurrent cataracts, you can go to the hospital for a detailed examination, if there is an indication for surgery, you can operate**, and in the process of surgery, on the one hand, you can ** cataract, on the other hand, you can also correct myopia. High myopia may also lead to cataracts, because the degree of myopia is relatively high, so the eye axis is relatively long, and in the process of continuous elongation of the eyeball, it is not only easy to appear retinal degeneration area, but also easy to appear cloudy lens to cause cataracts. Therefore, if you have high myopia, you must pay attention to the health of your eyes, go to the hospital regularly for re-examination to see the specific condition of your eyes, and if there is a cataract and it affects your daily life, you must have surgery as soon as possible**.

Now the incidence of high myopia is also very high, has become a common disease and frequent disease in ophthalmology clinics, after the occurrence of high myopia, it must be carried out as soon as possible, must effectively avoid the rapid increase of myopia, otherwise the risk of retinal detachment will be increasing. We must also pay attention to developing good eye habits and eye hygiene, do not overuse your eyes for a long time, do not stay up late for a long time, and must develop good living habits.

Patients with high myopia can also develop age-related cataracts as they age, and high myopia can also lead to concurrent cataracts.

If a patient with high myopia has cataract and his vision is very bad, which affects his work and life, cataract surgery can be performed.

Cataract surgery has two advantages, one is to remove the cloudy lens after the cataract is removed, and the other is through the implantation of the intraocular lens, the corresponding power can be adjusted, and the myopia degree of high myopia is also counted into the intraocular lens, which is equivalent to wearing myopia glasses in the eyes, killing two birds with one stone.

However, cataract surgery for highly myopic eyes also has corresponding risks, and there are complications of high myopia such as macular edema and retinal detachment after surgery. Careful consideration is also required.

Cataract refers to a degenerative change in optical quality caused by a decrease in the transparency or color of the lens, one of the refractive mediums of the eye.

Cataract can be divided into: congenital, senile, concurrent, metabolic, drug and toxic, traumatic, and posterior.

It can be seen that cataract is not only for the elderly, but also for anyone to get cataract, but it is just a matter of probability.

With cataract surgery, the risk of retinal detachment increases, but cataract surgery is still needed for patients with high myopia. It is the most prudent and responsible practice to strengthen the fundus examination before and after cataract surgery, and to do the necessary treatment.

In this case, after preoperative examination, as long as there is no morning detachment, cataract surgery can be broken**, but whether the vision can be improved after surgery is not necessarily ideal, because high myopia often has macular degeneration. But at least surgery can solve the loss of vision caused by cataracts. The success of the surgery depends on the improvement of eyesight.

High myopia can lead to many eye diseases such as cataracts and glaucoma. The harm is great. After cataract surgery, inflammation or infection, incision dehiscence, intraocular pressure, various types of edema, uveitis, and incision leakage may occur.

As for the risk of retinal detachment, it depends on the situation. Your situation seems dangerous.

High myopia has a relatively small risk if there is no fundus lesion, but the risk of mesh detachment is higher than that of general cataract surgery. Cataracts rarely have a sharp loss of vision, and it is difficult to judge the postoperative outcome because the fundus condition and the cause of the sharp loss of vision are unknown. But there is no better way to do it than surgery.

The eye is a very complicated thing, but now that medicine is more advanced, choosing a better hospital and teaching the risk of surgery is very low, and it is recommended to take good care of it after surgery, maybe you can recover better....

Judging by the questions you asked, you have already consulted with an ophthalmologist in detail.

1. High myopia can be solved by using a lens with power during cataract surgery, and there is no need to wear myopia glasses after surgery.

2. The relationship between cataract surgery and mesh detachment is very delicate, and cataract surgery may help and accelerate mesh detachment. The key is to look at the surgeon's technique.

I suggest that cataract surgery be performed first, and you can choose to fold the lens (the lens is not too good, and the lens should be removed if the mesh detachment is operated again).

With the development of modern microsurgery, the continuous improvement of surgical methods, surgical instruments and microscopes, the success rate of cataract surgery has been greatly improved, and the complications have been significantly reduced. Cataract surgery involves the replacement of the lens, and the surgery has no effect on your retina. However, I need to tell you that for high myopia, the probability of developing a net loss is relatively high, and it has nothing to do with whether you have surgery or not, so the chance of you having a net loss before surgery is the same as the chance of developing a net loss after surgery.

High myopia is recommended to avoid participating in some strenuous confrontational sports as much as possible, and avoid stiff ** and impact on the head.

Ask your doctor.

I feel safe.

Myopia, especially high myopia, is a cause of early-onset cataract and a high incidence of cataracts**. The probability of cataract in middle-aged and elderly people with high myopia is much higher than that of the average elderly, mainly because the intraocular nutrient metabolism of highly myopic patients is abnormal, which changes the capsule permeability of the lens, and the lens nutrition disorder and metabolic disorder gradually become cloudy, resulting in concurrent cataract and gradual decline in vision.

Experts from Baoding Xinshi Eye Hospital said that cataracts caused by high myopia (above 600 degrees) are mostly nuclear cataracts, and their opacities mainly occur in the nucleus of the lens. High myopia not only has a high incidence of cataracts, but also the age of onset will be advanced, and some people with high myopia begin to have cataracts in their 40s. Myopia is closely related to cataract in young and middle-aged people, generally myopia is stable at the age of 20, if you are in your thirties or forties, you find that your glasses suddenly deepen, and the deepening speed is very fast, it is likely to be a manifestation of cataract, do not only change glasses, you must seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Experts from Baoding Xinshi Eye Hospital reminded that due to the poor fundus condition of highly myopic patients and many complications, it may bring some trouble to cataract surgery, so it is necessary to find the right time to operate as soon as possible to reduce the occurrence of complications.

The elderly need to pay attention to health, all parts of the body should be timely and effective, every once in a while need to do a check-up on time, to ensure that the body is worry-free, if not effective exercise protection, may appear with age of various problems, old myopia will also deepen, cataract will appear.

Adults are not as likely to develop myopia as children and teenagers, so if myopia continues to increase with age, you should be careful of possible signs of cataracts. Myopia is not the patent of young people, recently a nearly 70-year-old man surnamed Xie, found that his eyesight deteriorate, a telephone pole to see three, accompanied by the family of the old man surnamed Xie, to the ophthalmology outpatient examination, found that the old man was myopic in both eyes about 300 degrees, and was diagnosed with cataracts.

Dr. He Jianxian of the Department of Ophthalmology saidThe elderly will also be myopic, and the cause of myopia in the elderly is generally related to cataract, this cataract is more special, the patient's water dismantling letter good lens will show uniform nuclear sclerosis, which causes the additional lens effect may cause an increase in myopia of 200 to 300 degrees per year At the beginning, the patient's distant vision will slowly become blurred, but the near vision will become clear, some patients will mistakenly think that the old Tan Henghua has become better, in fact, it is the cataract aggravation.

Deterioration in distance perception is also a sign After a while, he will find that he can't see even near things clearly, and this may be the time when surgery must be solved. In addition to the increase in myopia, the symptoms of cataract also include: blurred vision loss, monocular diplopia, extreme photophobia and glare, and occasionally color vision changes, distance perception changes, and lead difference.

At present, there is no effective drug to prevent cataracts, so if the patient's cataract is severe enough to significantly affect daily life, then the only way is to surgically remove the cataract and insert an intraocular lens. Dr. He Jianxian also mentioned that the current standard surgical method is generally ultrasound crystal emulsification surgery, which has a small surgical wound and short recovery time.

Excessive use of the eyes does have a risk of cataracts, older people, people who have had serious damage to their eyes, people who have been exposed to some new items of radiation, people with high myopia, diabetes, they are all prone to cataracts.

Excessive eye use does not cause cataracts.

Excessive eye use for a long time can cause eye fatigue, and if you are a teenager, you may become nearsighted, but excessive eye use does not cause cataracts, which are caused by the degeneration of proteins in the lens.
