CATARACT
Cataract is a leading cause of vision loss among people around the world.
A cataract is a disease in which the crystalline lens of the eye becomes cloudy and opaque as a result of the destruction of proteins and fibers in it. Cataracts develop gradually. Visual acuity decreases, and over time, can lead to blindness.
The good news is that more than 98%* of patients restore their vision after cataract removal surgery.
Symptoms
In the early stages of cataract development, symptoms usually do not appear.
Over time, a person may feel that:
-
vision at a distance or close up becomes blurry - vision decreases in twilight
- rainbow circles appear in front of the eyes
- difficulties arise in distinguishing colors
- contrast sensitivity worsens
- the effect of doubling light fixtures appears
- everyday affairs become problematic due to deteriorating vision
Cataract treatment:
There is no the rapeutical treatment for cataract even in the early stages of its development. The only effective way to for cataract removal is microsurgical procedure, which is called phacoemulsification. During this surgery the cloudy lens is removed and an artificial one is implanted – an intraocular lens (IOL).
After the operation, vision is almost completely restored*.
