When 'reading glasses' become' frosted mirrors'? Senile cataract? Is it good to count?

The "traces of time" in the eyes - senile cataracts, are like a veil quietly covering the "window to the soul". Want to regain a clear perspective? Follow the ophthalmologist quickly and easily learn about the size of cataracts!
 


01 Cataract: The 'senile plaque' of the crystalline lens
Senile cataracts, whose name sounds like the "senile spots" of a crystalline lens, are a signal that the "crystalline grandfather" in the eyes is starting to experience "senile blurred vision". Just like the sudden appearance of a few age spots on the face, the crystalline lens begins to "stir up emotions", no longer clear and transparent, but gradually becomes "cloud covered moon", affecting the "high-definition picture quality" of vision.
 
This matter usually comes to visit you quietly after your 50th birthday, and as you grow older, it comes to visit like an old friend.

Status Visual performance
Normal Clear crystal, unobstructed view
Cataract patients The crystal is turbid and the visual acuity is blurred


02 The 'midlife crisis' of crystals
Will crystal point solutions' deteriorate '? In fact, just like the aging of other parts of the body, it is a natural law that 'time does not spare people'.
The proteins in the crystal will start to 'cluster', and as these small clusters increase, the crystal will become a 'mosaic'; In addition to the "fanning" of ultraviolet rays, smoking, and diabetes "bad guys", cataracts are more likely to "join the fun".

Eye condition Visual effect
Normal eyes Bright colors, clear and visible details
Cataract eyes The picture is blurry and the colors are dull and lackluster


03 The 'little episode' in the 'fog' of vision
In the early stages of cataracts, you may think it's not a big deal, just like small interludes in life, but over time, these "interludes" will gradually become the "main melody".
 
For example:
• The view became increasingly blurry, as if wearing a pair of frosted glasses;
• Especially sensitive to light, vision deteriorates under strong light, as if entering a 'light sensitive mode';
• Colors become dull, and life loses its' color saturation ';
• Night vision decline, driving becomes' night traveler mode ';
• Even when looking at things, there is a double shadow, and even one eye has a "clone technique".
 
At this point, you may be thinking, 'My eye contact has been hacked?'
 
Many elderly people have cataracts, shouldn't it be a big deal?
 
Attention, please! Cataract is the leading cause of blindness!
 
04 Treatment: The 'end bell' for cataracts
Good luck, medical technology is not a "paper tiger", surgical treatment is the "bell of dismissal" for cataracts.
 
When the eyes experience blurred vision, darkening, photophobia, ghosting, and other conditions, after examination and evaluation by an ophthalmologist, the "crystal replacement method" can be used& mdash; — By removing the turbid crystal and implanting an artificial crystal, vision can be "rejuvenated".
 
Most home surgeries use phacoemulsification, which is minimally invasive and safe, just like performing a "cosmetic surgery" on the eyes.


05 Prevention: Eye health needs to be maintained
Although cataracts are a "mark of time," we can slow them down through some "health" measures:
• Wear UV resistant sunglasses when going out to protect your eyes from direct sunlight;
• Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits, quitting smoking, controlling sugar and blood pressure, is like doing tight "health exercises";
• Regularly getting a 'physical examination' for the eyes to promptly detect and address' minor issues' is like getting vaccinated for the eyes.
 
Although age-related cataracts can be a headache, as long as we approach them with optimism and scientific methods, we can keep the 'window of the soul' bright. Remember, even if our eyes are 'old', our lives can still be 'young' because 'when our mentality is young, the world is young'!
