How to prevent or treat cataracts when they appear early

There are three ways of early cataract: general **medication** and surgery**, cataract is a visual disorder disease caused by lens opacity, and the lens protein degeneration and cloudiness cause patients to have varying degrees of vision loss, which can eventually lead to blindness.

Generally**usually pay attention to eye rest, can not be overworked, but also eat more vitamin-rich foods, such as carrots, eggs and other drugs**Drugs** are only suitable for early patients with mild symptoms, you can take auxiliary nutritional drugs such as vitamin C, vitamin E, etc., under the doctor's instructions, you can also take antioxidant damage drugs under a group, such as ancient tathione, electricity, etc.

Cataract is the slow clouding and deterioration of the lens, which leads to a gradual decline in the visual edge. In fact, everyone may see a lot of advertisements for cataracts, such as eye drops, etc., but now we can tell you very clearly that there is no specific drug for cataract, and surgery is the most effective and fastest method for cataract, because now the technology of cataract is very mature, and most people can get a good vision recovery. Therefore, there is no need to worry about some of his ***, you can rest assured to follow the doctor's advice to undergo surgery.

1. In the early stage, cataract patients gradually blur their vision, and sometimes feel that there is an aperture around the light and the color of the object is not bright enough. If you drive at night, you will feel uncomfortable or irritated by the headlights of the car coming from the opposite side. In general, however, the process of symptom development is quite slow and depends on where the lens is most cloudy and how it develops.

2. In the early stage of cataract, due to the swelling of the lens absorbing more water, its epithelial cell gap is enlarged and filled with particulate water droplets, and the light will be refracted when passing through it and present a colored halo, commonly known as rainbow vision.

4. If the lens opacity starts in the ** part first, when the light intensity and pupil narrowing during the day, the light enters the eye and is blocked, resulting in day blindness; If the lens is opaque and located in the periphery, the entry of dark light into the retina of the equatorial part is blocked at night, and the rod-shaped optic cells of the retina of the equatorial part of the equatorial retina are specialized in fluid vision, so night blindness will occur.

Fifth, some elderly people usually need to wear reading glasses to read books and newspapers, but suddenly, they find that they do not need to wear reading glasses to see very clearly, some elderly people are very happy, in fact, this is not a good sign, this is because when the elderly cataract first appears, the lens convexity increases, and the refractive near point changes, which is one of the early symptoms of cataract.

The occurrence of cataract can have a great impact on the patient's vision, especially if the cataract is not detected in time and early**, it can also lead to blindness. Therefore, we should understand some of the symptoms of cataract so that we can detect the condition in time and deal with it in time. So what are the symptoms of early cataracts?

Let's take a look.

1. Changes in vision. If the cataract occurs in the periphery of the lens, it will not affect the vision, but if the opacity is located in the lens **, it will have a great impact on the vision, the light can lead to vision loss, the heavy will cause the vision to only see manual or light sense, in addition to the deepening of myopia and monocular diplopia or polyopia, dark vision, photophobia and other symptoms.

2. The symptoms of presbyopia are reduced. Many elderly cataract patients will find that they can see clearly without reading glasses in the early stage of the disease, but this situation is actually caused by the increase in lens convexity and changes in the refractive proxima point caused by cataracts.

3. Day blindness or night blindness. In the early stage of cataract, there will be dark shadows in front of the eyes, and there can be dotted or flaky shadows with the same shape, which appear and disappear from time to time, and have various shapes.

4. Vision loss. Many cataract patients have worse vision under bright light. This condition is mainly caused by miosis, narrowing of the light channels of the eye.

5. Abnormal color vision: cataract will have symptoms of abnormal color vision in the early stage, and you will often feel colored light when you see things.

6. Other symptoms: cataract patients will have refractive changes, the degree of presbyopia will decrease, but the degree of myopia will increase, or there is no myopia and may need to wear glasses to see distant things clearly.

These are some of the symptoms that may occur in the early stages of cataracts. If the patient finds some of the above manifestations, he should be alert to cataracts, and it is recommended to see a doctor for examination and diagnosis. Diagnosis is usually made by ophthalmoscopy, slit lamp examination, iris projection, etc.

Once a cataract is diagnosed, it is done early** to avoid worsening and causing more damage to vision.

The initial symptoms of cataracts are mainly visual disturbances.

In the early stages, the vision is slightly blurred, and often it is not possible to feel it on its own.

It is only when vision in both eyes (distance vision, near vision) gradually decreases at the same time, or when vision is reduced to a certain extent.

Middle-aged people should pay attention if they have mild visual impairment, or if they are easily fatigued, or if they have black spots in front of their eyes and they are fixed, or if they have a cloud-like sensation in front of their eyes, their vision is blurred, or they have double vision (double vision).

In addition, some people wear reading glasses earlier, and occasionally they can see near objects clearly without reading glasses, which is also an early sign of cataracts.

In addition, there are crystals that are cloudy and colored, and the perception of looking at objects is low; low color vision when looking at colors; As well as poor dark adaptation and prolonged time, etc., are also early signals.

Cataract is generally 2 types of ** schemes, one is surgery **. The advantage of surgery is that the effect of postoperative vision recovery is better, but the cost is higher, and it depends on the different materials used, and if you perform surgery, you should also pay attention to some geriatric diseases such as hypertension, heart disease, cerebral thrombosis, diabetes, etc. Therefore, surgery is not recommended for older people**.

There is also the use of some functional eye drops with pure Chinese medicine ingredients**. The advantage of eye drops** is that the cost is less than that of surgery, and there is no need to bear the pressure of surgical risks, it is convenient and fast, and there is no age requirement.

The early symptoms of cataract include blurred vision, color change, photophobia, black spots in front of the eyes, diplopia, crystalline myopia, etc., while the late symptoms are the deepening of visual impairment, which can only distinguish fingers in front of the eyes or only the sense of light remains, until the final blindness, and the whole development process is slow. However, even when people are blind, they still have a sense of light, that is, they can distinguish between day and night.

Extracapsular enucleation is one of the methods of cataract surgery, although it has the disadvantages of long operation time, large incision, easy to produce astigmatism, silk suture closure, and slow postoperative recovery, but due to the advantages of less investment and lower surgical cost, it is still the main cataract surgery method in underdeveloped areas and hospitals.

Now cataracts in the early and middle stages can be treated, and there is a new drug in China, Shapu Aisi eye drops, which is specifically for the treatment of senile cataract in the early and middle stages.

In the early stage, it is recommended to use the functional Shapu Aisi eye drops**, which is specifically for senile early cataracts.

It is mainly blurred vision, and there may be symptoms such as photophobia, dark or yellow color of objects, and even double vision (double shadow) and deformation of objects. The clouding of the lens caused by various causes is collectively referred to as cataract. It can be recuperated by surgery and then with the opening of the pupil, and it will be slowly relieved.

Attention to cataracts** is as follows:

1. Deficiency of vitamins and trace elements: Nutrient metabolism is found to be related to the formation of cataracts due to the deficiency of certain vitamins and trace elements through animal observation, such as calcium, phosphorus, vitamins E, A, B2, etc. This is also a cataract induce**.

2. Hypoxia: In the case of hypoxia, the sodium and calcium in the crystal can be increased, the potassium and vitamin C can be reduced accordingly, and the lactic acid will increase, which will promote the formation of cataracts. These cataracts are more important.

3. Abnormal outside temperature: The survey shows that the incidence of cataract in workers over 60 years old who work in high temperature is significantly higher, so external temperature is also one of the causes of cataract.

4. Endocrine disorders: Endocrine disorders can promote the production of cataracts, which is enough to explain that cataracts occur higher in diabetic patients than in ordinary people.

5. The influence of sunlight and ultraviolet rays: Sunlight and ultraviolet rays For many years, it has been noted that sunlight is involved in the formation of cataracts in humans. Under the influence of ultraviolet light, phosphorus ions may combine with calcium ions in the aging lens to form insoluble calcium phosphate, which leads to hardening and calcification of the crystals.

This is also one of the most common causes of cataracts.

Do these 7 steps and get a little farther away from cataracts:

Mood: Deal with things calmly and keep your mood comfortable;

Hygiene: Usually do not rub your eyes with your hands, do not wipe your eyes with unclean handkerchiefs, and do not use your eyes excessively;

Sunscreen: When the sun is strong, wear glasses that protect against ultraviolet rays and blue light

Sugar control: actively prevent and treat chronic diseases, especially diabetes is prone to cataracts, and diabetic patients should have regular eye checks

Diet: Eat more foods that contain protein, vitamin C, and vitamin E, such as fish and vegetablesEat less heavy oil and heavy salt foods;

Smoking cessation: Experiments have shown that people who smoke are more likely to develop cataracts than non-smokers

Physical examination: Middle-aged and elderly people should have an eye examination every six months to help detect cataracts early.

Wishing you good health.

Hello landlord, as the cataract worsens, the vision will deteriorate further, and when the vision loss will start to affect the activities of daily living.

Accept it as early as possible. It is recommended that the landlord go to Fuzhou Southeast Eye Hospital. Helpful for landlords.
