Can glaucoma and cataracts be operated on together?

Glaucoma combined with cataracts can be operated on. If you have glaucoma, you should first control the intraocular pressure, and then do glaucoma and cataract surgery, which can lead to two eye diseases at the same time.

Glaucoma and cataract can be operated on at the same time, this is also divided into two situations, for angle-closure glaucoma combined with cataract, the patient is very lucky, because after the conventional cataract removal surgery, the patient's angle stenosis is completely lifted, so doing cataract is equivalent to the first angle-closure glaucoma; However, if the patient's angle has been closed for a period of time, adhesive closure may occur, and the surgeon may need to perform a combined anti-glaucoma procedure, such as separation of iris and trabecular adhesions.

Glaucoma has a great impact and harm on people's health. Glaucoma is the second most common blind eye disease after cataracts. Unlike cataracts, glaucoma is irreversible, so early detection and ** are key.

As we age, each of us has a thicker lens, just as a tree's rings increase, and the tree thickens. The lens thickens and swells, pushing forward the iris tissue that covers its surface. In patients with angle stenosis, the angle becomes narrow or even closed, resulting in obstruction of aqueous humor outflow, aqueous humor accumulation, and increased intraocular pressure, resulting in angle-closure glaucoma.

There are two conditions that can lead to angle-closure glaucoma during cataract formation. In one condition, the lens absorbs water and swells, thickens, and expands, gradually pushing the iris forward, causing the iris angle to close, secondary to glaucoma. Another scenario is:

When the cataract progresses to the overripe stage, components in the cloudy lens can leak into the eye and cause inflammation, which can also block the outflow of aqueous humor out of the channel, leading to glaucoma attacks.

According to the child's age, the location of the lens opacity, the degree of opacity, etc., if not, the dense cataract in the optic axis area of infants and young children with a score of more than 3mm will lead to deprivation amblyopia, and surgery should be performed as soon as possible under general anesthesia after birth.

Rubella leukoplakia, but in the case of complete cataract and nuclear cataract (this condition generally has a serious impact on vision, and the drug ** works well, ** should be clear). If there is a positive family history, it is associated with a genetic disorder. In addition, the influence of environmental factors is also a cause of disease, some of which are systemic diseases.

Even after home analysis or laboratory testing, 1 in 3 cases remain undetectable**. Microsurgery is commonly used. The incidence of cataracts is high, and the last 3 months of fetal development are another common cause.

Therefore, early prevention of maternal pregnancy is to prevent cataract experts from comprehensively considering congenital cataracts, weighing the pros and cons, and choosing the best time for surgery** children. The occurrence of cataracts is very important. Among them, two-thirds of the children have diseases in both eyes, and children with monocular diseases do not feel lucky because their diseases are slightly mild!

The eye is one of the most vulnerable organs in the human body. Long-term use of the eyes will gradually increase the burden on the eyes, leading to eye diseases. Especially with age, the probability of developing cataracts and glaucoma also increases slightly.

Cataract and glaucoma are both diseases of blindness, and both are closely related to the leading causes of blindness in the world. However, due to the lack of awareness, many people, including cataracts and glaucoma, know little about these two eye diseases.

Cataract is a very common eye disease that affects the quality of life, occurring in more than 70% of people over the age of 50. In the same way, the human eye can perceive the colorful colors of the world. This is because the light rays are focused through the lens and projected onto the retina.

If the lens is cloudy, preventing light from entering the eye, the patient will experience blurred vision. Glaucoma is a very serious form of blindness eye disease. It is usually caused by high intraocular pressure, and there is a certain pressure on the eyeball, which becomes intraocular pressure, and the normal maintenance of intraocular pressure mainly depends on guiding waterproofing.

Waterproof is a colorless and transparent liquid that is constantly discharged and constantly circulated to maintain dynamic equilibrium. Once this balance is disrupted, if the guiding fluid does not flow properly, it can lead to an increase in intraocular pressure, triggering glaucoma.

Glaucoma and cataracts are both common eye diseases, but many people easily confuse the two. Professor Zhuo Yehong pointed out that cataract occupies the first place in the world of blind eye diseases, and glaucoma is a serious irreversible blindness disease, ranking second among blindness and irreversible blindness in the world. Cataracts are caused by blurred clear crystals that do not project light onto the retina, and the occurrence of glaucoma is related to intraocular pressure.

As you don't know, water collection has the function of maintaining intraocular pressure. If the water does not collect smoothly, the intraocular pressure will rise, compressing the optic nerve, causing nerve atrophy and vision loss. This is where glaucoma happens.

Cataracts and glaucoma are just two very different eye diseases. It's not like that. Glaucoma or cataracts, glaucoma and cataracts, and some cataracts can cause glaucoma.

With glaucoma, the reason why patients sometimes need cataract surgery is not difficult to explain. In addition, the front is narrow, and it is not easy for the collection to flow out, but if the front is deepened by cataract surgery, the waterproof water will flow out easily, and the intraocular pressure will drop. Therefore, cataract surgery plays an important role in the development of glaucoma.

Overall, cataracts and glaucoma can exist separately or affect each other. Cataract surgery plays an important role in glaucoma. Professor Zhuo Yehong said that if the surgery is done at the right time, glaucoma** will achieve less results.

Generally, the relationship between these two diseases is very close, people with glaucoma must have cataracts, both of which will lead to blindness, and they must go to the hospital in time**, not dragged.

Glaucoma has nothing to do with cataracts. Because it is two diseases, but these two diseases occur more often in the elderly.

There is no necessary connection between the two, because although both are eye diseases, the symptoms are different, so there is no connection.

Combined blue and white surgery can be done.

Because once glaucoma and cataract staging surgery is performed, it will increase the mental stress of the patient, increase the financial burden of the patient, and multiple surgeries on one eyeball also increase the risk of surgical infection and complications.

Compared with glaucoma or cataract surgery alone, blue-white combined surgery requires doctors to have higher surgical skills, and doctors need to have sufficient knowledge and experience in glaucoma theory and filtration surgery to calmly deal with sudden intraoperative situations. At the same time, it also requires the surgeon to have skilled surgical skills in lens removal techniques and intraocular lens implantation techniques. Patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma and cataract are more complex, which is reflected in higher intraocular pressure, shallow anterior chamber, short axial eyeball, small eyeball, frequent adhesions in the pupil or iris muscle palsy, and the pupil is difficult to dilate; If the patient also has a hard cataract or secondary angle-closure glaucoma caused by lens dislocation, it will increase the difficulty of surgery.

Therefore, combined blue-white surgery needs to be performed by an experienced physician, and the patient's condition needs to be repeated before surgery, especially to assess the variability of intraocular pressure, to fully discuss the surgical plan, and to minimize intraocular pressure. In addition, for patients with high intraocular pressure or systemic diseases, surgery under general anesthesia should be selected for better safety. Furthermore, because the surgery requires pupil dilation, and patients with angle-closure glaucoma are at risk of increased intraocular pressure and corneal edema, they should not dilate their pupils early.

Judging from your description, it may be related to the increase in age, lens protein degeneration, and the appearance of opacity and severe cataract induced glaucoma. It is recommended to choose the ophthalmology department of a regular public hospital for examination, and if this is the case, a combination of cataract and glaucoma surgery can be done in general, and at the same time, pay attention to rest, rational use of eyes, and regular reexamination.

Surgery can be done, but it depends on the patient's specific situation, as glaucoma and cataract are two separate surgeries. Glaucoma and cataracts can be surgically surged**. Glaucoma is conservative**, if the intraocular pressure is stable, the visual field, and the optic nerve are not damaged, it can be rechecked regularly, and severe cases require surgery**.

If the cataract progresses to a certain extent, it will affect vision, or if there are complications, surgery will be required**!

This is something that needs to be checked, and if necessary, it is possible to perform the surgery together.

Well, yes, there is also a combination of blue and white surgery.
