Cataracts: A common eye disease in the elderly, so many elderly people ask their doctors when they visit the hospital: My eyes feel blurry now, I think I have a cataract, do I need surgery immediately? It is true that the early symptoms of cataracts are blurred vision and double vision, but this cannot prove that all elderly people with blurred vision are cataracts.
In addition to cataract, fundus disease, presbyopia, and corneal inflammation may all cause blurred vision. And cataracts can be considered for treatment once the vision problem affects normal life and work, and the only one mature means is surgery. Medications have no real effect on treating cataracts and will only waste the patient’s money and treatment time. Currently, the most mature cataract surgery method and the one that is being performed in all major hospitals is cataract ultrasound emulsification surgery, which involves removing the cloudy artificial lens by ultrasonic shock and then implanting the artificial lens into the capsule to achieve clear vision.
Cataract is the world’s number one blindness-causing eye disease, and a large part of the blurred vision of middle-aged and elderly people is caused by cataract, but it may also be caused by presbyopia and eye diseases.
