Cataract surgery: causal treatment

summary

Cataract is a common eye disease. Many old people feel that they are old and do not need treatment. This idea is wrong. Cataract patients must be treated in time. If not, glaucoma will appear, and even blindness may occur. So, do cataract patients have to have surgery? Next, I'll give you a brief introduction.

Cataract surgery: causal treatment

First, cataracts can also be treated with drugs in the early stage of the disease. In the process of treatment, we should pay attention to the treatment of the causes and control the primary disease of cataracts. For example, those caused by diabetes should control blood sugar, and those caused by alcoholism should stop drinking.

Second, at present, no drug therapy, exercise, optical instrument or other methods have been proved to be effective in preventing or curing cataract, which can only slightly delay the development of cataract.

Third: once the lens opacity worsens and the visual acuity is lower than 0.3, surgery should be considered. Because the damage caused by cataract is irreversible, only surgery to remove the turbid lens can completely cure.

matters needing attention

Cataract patients should pay more attention to eye health and vision, do eye examination regularly, and take measures to prevent the deterioration of cataract.
