Cataract
What is an eye cataract?
An eye cataract is an eye disease that is often seen in middle-aged and elderly people, as a result of which the lens of the eye behind the pupil loses its transparency over time, causing blurry vision.
Right behind our pupil is a natural lens that gives our eyes 10 refractive indices at a far distance and 13 at a near distance. Our natural lens begins to become cloudy, losing its transparency as we age. Cataracts do not completely affect vision at first. The reason is initially, it does not cover the entire lens of the eye. The onset of a cataract is a clouding of colors and a decrease in the quality of vision.
How does an eye with a cataract see?
People with cataracts begin to see as if they are looking through foggy glass. As the cataract progresses, it significantly reduces vision and negatively affects the life of the patient. A cataract is a disease that can be diagnosed with a simple eye examination. However, should be performed a detailed examination of the patient’s eyes to find out if there are other eye diseases accompanying the cataract. In the examination before drawing up the operation plan, the transparency of the cornea, the structure of the cataract, the position of the lens, the width of the pupil, and the condition of the retina are examined in detail, and the treatment of the patient’s cataract is evaluated from the point of view of the operation.
