It is estimated that half of people over 65 will develop cataracts at some point in their lives. A cataract is an eye disease that can be harmful to the eyes. In a healthy eye, there is a clear goal helps you focus. If you have a cataract, the lens gradually deteriorates over a long period of time. Your vision will be blurred as cataract develops, until the whole lens is cloudy. Your eyes will get worse slowly becoming blurred or hazy, making it difficult to see clearly. Cataracts can
occur at any age but usually develop with age. If a cataract is not allowed to read or drive or do normal activities of daily life, we recommend surgery.
Cataract surgery involves removing the cataract lens by ultrasound emulsification and replace it with a small plastic lens. The artificial lens is stabilized in the same containing the natural lens capsule. Results restore clear vision and often eliminate the need for reading glasses. But years after surgery, patients may experience sometimes obscures the view again. The vision may be blurred, and many patients have problems with lights and glitter. Although it may seem that the waterfall is back, this is not a re-growth. What actually happens is a thickening of the lens capsule that holds the artificial lens. This is medically known as opacification of the posterior lens capsule.
This thickening of the capsule of the lens occurs to the rear, namely the natural lens to grow cells from the back of the artificial lens. These cells are sometimes left behind after cataract surgery, which causes problems with the light entering the eye and thus vision problems.
Treatment of laser eye surgery
Lasers are beams of energy that can be directed very precisely. Today, technology is being used increasingly to correct the vision of patients after cataract surgery. YAG laser with a focused laser energy very low and it is used to cut a small area in a circle into the capsule of the lens allowing the light to pass through once again the back of levels artificial lens. A ratio of the lens capsule is retained to maintain the artificial lens in place, but eliminates thick enough cells to allow the light to the retina.
The procedure is quick and painless, usually taking about fifteen minutes. Although the actual laser treatment can take five minutes. The laser has a wavelength that is not visible, but it is clear that you can see that allows the doctor to see what they do. Each laser shot a fraction of a second, and you should not feel anything, but you may notice some light as laser shots
occur at any age but usually develop with age. If a cataract is not allowed to read or drive or do normal activities of daily life, we recommend surgery.
