What problems can cataracts cause if they occur without surgery?

Cataracts can lead to vision loss, if not, vision will be completely lost, and even secondary glaucoma, eye pain, headache.

In real life, cataract is a relatively high incidence of eye disease in the elderly group, but in the early stage, because everyone can not pay attention to it, they often choose a variety of eye drugs to carry out**, until they have to undergo surgery. So, what are the consequences of not having surgery for cataracts?

1. Blindness. Cataract is a disease that can only be treated with surgery and can prevent it from getting worse. If cataract patients insist on not undergoing surgery, the patient's vision inside the eye will have a very obvious and severe deterioration, and eventually it is likely to lead to eventual blindness due to the clouding of the lens, and once the patient loses his sight, his normal daily life and work will be very seriously affected.

2. Hinder the diagnosis and treatment of other eye diseases. In general, some patients with severe cataract are likely to have other eye diseases at the same time, but due to the occlusion of cataracts, doctors cannot determine the condition of their fundus at the time of diagnosis, so it is impossible to diagnose and treat other fundus diseases without cataract surgery. As we all know, fundus disease is an eye disease with a high rate of blindness, and if the opportunity is missed due to unwillingness to undergo cataract surgery, it will cause unimaginable damage to the patient's vision.

3. Cause complications. If cataract can not be carried out in time, it also causes many serious complications, such as glaucoma and pigmentitis, etc., most of these eye diseases occur in the mature period of cataract and overmaturity, they can not only cause blindness, sometimes can also cause serious inflammation in the eye, which leads to the atrophy of the eyeball. Therefore, if the cataract develops to a certain extent, it must undergo surgery**.

Cataract surgery can cause progressive vision loss, affect daily life and work, and in severe cases, lead to blindness.

Vision loss is the most common symptom of cataract patients, starting with small objects that are difficult to see, then large objects that are not able to see clearly, and finally not being able to see at all.

Seeing a thing as two is called diplopia; Seeing that there are many of them, it is called polyvision. Double or polyopia is a common symptom of cataracts.

The outer membrane that surrounds the outside of the lens is medically called the lens capsule.

The lens capsule contains a transparent substance, mainly lens cells.

There are two main substances in lens cells: water and soluble proteins.

Some soluble proteins deteriorate and become insoluble proteins that are no longer soluble in water.

As more and more proteins become insoluble in water, the lens becomes cloudy.

The light entering the turbid lens suddenly encounters an insoluble protein, changing the angle of refraction, and some are even directly reflected back. There is less light that can be focused on the retina, and seeing things is blurry.

As the insoluble protein increases, the lens begins to absorb water and becomes larger.

The nutrients in the eyes are circulated by the aqueous humor. The expansion of the lens will squeeze the pipe of the aqueous humor return, and the intraocular pressure will increase if the aqueous humor does not return smoothly.

In a high-pressure environment, the optic nerve will slowly die, and the eye will become blind, and this process is irreversible.

If you have cataracts or eye discomfort, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Otherwise, cataract causes blindness caused by optic nerve atrophy, which is not possible.

What happens if I don't have surgery for cataracts?

Cataracts are called age-related lens opacities, and the transparency of the lens decreases in all patients with age, but the degree of opacity varies depending on the degree of opacity.

If the opacity is severe and causes the patient's vision to deteriorate significantly, surgery is the only effective way, if there is no surgery, the cataract will be progressively aggravated, and the volume of the lens will be more and more expanded, which will cause the anterior chamber angle to be narrowed, so that the waterproof circulation is not smooth, resulting in secondary glaucoma, and high intraocular pressure will cause pain and eye swelling in the patient. In some patients, when the lens is too convex, the protein in the lens will leak into the anterior chamber and block the angle, forming lens-derived secondary glaucoma.

Therefore, for cataract patients, surgery should be arranged as soon as possible after entering the surgical period, which can not only improve vision, but also avoid future complications.

Cataracts do not necessarily require surgery, but generally depends on the extent of the cataract and the patient's need for vision.

The lens is an important part of the eye's refractive system, and normally the lens of the eye is transparent. Lens opacity, commonly known as cataracts, causes blurred vision and decreased vision when the lens is clouded to a certain extent. The causes of the disease are complex, which is the result of the long-term comprehensive effect of various factors inside and outside the body on the lens, mainly including aging, genetics, metabolic abnormalities, ocular trauma, radiation, poisoning, local nutritional disorders, and some systemic metabolic or immune diseases.

After the appearance of this symptom, the regimen depends mainly on the degree of impact of the lesion on the visual acuity and the patient's requirements for vision. If the lens opacity is located in the periphery, the opacity is small and mild, and the visual effect is not significant, no treatment can be done. If the site of lens opacity is located in ** or the opacity area is large, which significantly affects the patient's visual quality, surgery can be considered**.

At present, the commonly used surgical methods are phacoemulsification aspiration of cataract combined with intraocular lens implantation.

When a patient has a cataract, they should see an ophthalmologist who will help with the trade-off of surgery or not according to the patient's condition.

Without surgery, it can get worse and worse, eventually leading to blindness.

Cataracts don't have to be surgically studied. Whether cataract can be done without surgery also needs to be judged according to the severity of the condition, and the specific analysis is as follows:

1.If the disease is mild and does not affect one's life, the disease can be controlled through medication, and surgery is generally not required. Patients can follow their doctor's instructions for using cataract eye drops to relieve the symptoms associated with cataracts.

2.If the condition is relatively serious and the effect of the drug** is not very good, then you need to cooperate with the doctor to perform surgery**, such as phacoemulsification surgery. If surgery is not performed in time**, it will lead to further aggravation of the condition, which can lead to complications such as uveitis, and may even lead to secondary glaucoma, which can cause irreversible damage to itself.

During the ** period, remember not to use your eyes for a long time, pay more attention to the rest of your eyes, and avoid aggravating the condition.

I don't think so, it might be more serious if I don't have surgery.

Of course, this kind of thing should also be asked of an ophthalmologist.

Cataract mainly refers to the turbidity caused by the disorder of lens metabolism due to various reasons, resulting in the degeneration of lens proteins, once this disease occurs, the light will be blocked by the turbid lens and cannot be projected onto the retina, so it will lead to the phenomenon of vision loss in the patient, but at this time, the patient does not want to undergo surgery, I don't know if the cataract can be cured without surgery?

In fact, the surgical methods of cataract mainly include phacoemulsification extraction plus intraocular lens implantation and modern cataract extracapsular extraction, but because the risk is not only relatively large when the operation is performed, but also after the actual number of patients will also have some complications, and even because the life span of the intraocular lens is only one to six years, so now more and more people will want to use drugs to avoid the suffering suffered during the operation. So as to achieve the elimination of the pain of surgery.

However, although there are more and more cataract drugs, once the protein in the lens is denatured, it is an irreversible process, just like the egg white cannot be turned into a protein after being heated, and the protein is unlikely to change back into an egg white. There is no cure for this disease. Therefore, after suffering from cataracts, once the cataract is found to be mature, the operation should be carried out in time, so as to avoid serious impact on the patient's work and life.

Cataract is a lens opacity caused by various reasons, and there is no effective drug method, so there is no conservative method that can improve lens opacity.

Some patients do not understand cataract, even if they are blind after suffering from cataract, they do not want to go to surgery**, thinking that they are too old to be cured, and even mistakenly think that cataract will grow back after surgery, so why bother to endure the pain of surgery. Other patients are blind in one eye but still have some vision in the other eye and do not want to have surgery.

However, cataract disease is subject to development, and overripe cataract can cause many complications. We already know that cataract medication** is ineffective, and the only way to see again is through surgery.

If the cataract is not operated in time after it matures, it can cause complications such as secondary glaucoma and uveitis due to overripe cataract, and the patient may have headache, eye pain, tearing, nausea, vomiting, etc., at this time, if the cataract is reoperated, the effect is poor, and sometimes even the opportunity to regain vision is lost.

According to relevant statistics, more than half of the elderly fall fractures are due to "bad eyes", and the common cause of "bad eyes" is inseparable from cataracts.

Cataracts cause a decrease in the quality of life of the elderly.

Cataracts are the result of aging and the incidence increases with age. In the outpatient clinic, I often see many elderly people, because the cataract vision decline is too serious, I am afraid of falling up and down the stairs, I need someone to help them in daily travel, and I can only stay at home for a long time.

The direct cause of this result is that they have always trusted eye drops and refused to go to the hospital for surgery, or they are afraid of surgery and think that surgery is unsafe.

Cataract surgery for older people is not safe.

Nowadays, cataract surgery is very mature, and the probability of danger is extremely low. And, even if there is an accident or complication of surgery, it can be remedied. With the continuous progress of ophthalmic technology, a cataract surgery can be completed in about 10 minutes, and the operation will be carried out under local anesthesia, and there is no pain during the operation, that is, the time of two to three songs, and the eye cataract surgery will be completed, which is far less terrifying than the old man imagined.

Moreover, the current cataract surgery can also solve myopia and presbyopia together while cataract, whether it is reading, writing, playing with mobile phones, driving, traveling, etc., you can have good naked eye vision, and you no longer need to wear reading glasses and myopia glasses after surgery, which is comparable to the vision of young people.

Cataract surgery is minimally invasive and does not cause significant damage to the patient, the only change is that the vision is better after the surgery.

First of all, it is impossible to ** cataract with any medication! Don't believe advertisements that claim to be able to medicate** cataracts. Not only did I spend unjust money, but I also delayed it.

Those so-called ** cataract eye drops generally contain preservatives, and long-term exposure to preservatives in the eyes after indiscriminate eye drops will cause damage to the conjunctiva and cornea, resulting in dry eyes.

If it affects your life, you have to have surgery! Patients with early cataract have only mild vision loss, which does not affect their daily life, and can insist on regular follow-up in the hospital without immediate surgery. But as long as your vision deteriorates to the point where it affects your life, you can have surgery**.

Cataracts are eventually surgically resolved.

？"Cataract surgery is currently the only way to restore vision to cataract patients. "For cataract patients, the only effective cataract method is to do cataract surgery, but many people are worried about whether cataract surgery is safe, so is cataract surgery dangerous?

Let's take a look at the nationally renowned cataract experts to introduce you to the dangers of cataract surgery? Is cataract surgery dangerous? According to well-known cataract experts in China, cataract surgery is very safe, and patients can rest assured that cataract surgery can be done.

The success rate of cataract surgery is more than 90%, and the success rate of cataract surgery for cataract patients without retinal disease can even be said to be 100%. With the current cataract ice phacoemulsification technology, the patient has a better painful surgical wound and a very faster postoperative recovery, so it can be said that cataract surgery is very safe. However, it is important to pay attention to the contraindications of cataract surgery, because the risk of cataract surgery is related to it, and if the contraindications of cataract surgery are avoided, it is necessary to ensure that cataract surgery is performed safely.

Contraindications to cataract surgery1. Those who cannot tolerate surgery due to systemic diseases; 2. Active inflammation of the eye and surrounding tissues is listed as a temporary contraindication; 3. Cataract is not serious, but there are other eye diseases that seriously affect vision, such as severe macular degeneration, vitreous hemorrhage and optic nerve atrophy; 4. Acute or chronic reversive iridocyclitis, etc. You should go through a professional ophthalmologist** and your condition should be stable before you can undergo cataract surgery. 5. Patients with infectious eye diseases; 6. Affect surgical operations such as corneal opacity, shallow anterior chamber, etc.; 7. Patients with severe corneal endothelial lesions; 8. Iris redness, neovascular glaucoma; 9. Retinal vascular occlusion.

The above is what domestic cataract experts introduce to you? I believe that many friends have already had some understanding, and I hope that friends with cataracts can pay attention to it, detect it early, and don't delay the best time.
