At the age of middle-aged people in their 50s, their eyesight naturally deteriorates and their eyes gradually become blurred. At this time, many people think it’s almost natural, but it may not be a simple aging phenomenon, so if abnormal symptoms persist, it’s recommended to have a suspiciously. Today, I would like to talk about presbyopia and cataracts. Let’s find out together what kind of symptoms you should suspect.
Our eye tissue has a transparent lens, which acts as a lens in the camera.Because she has elasticity, she becomes thicker when looking at close distances and thinner when looking at far distances and focuses on nature. In this way, the lens adjusts the thickness according to the distance and focuses, but as you get older, the elasticity of the lens decreases and it becomes difficult to focus. These symptoms are called presbyopia, but you need to be careful because if you come with cataract instead of simple presbyopia, it can spread to a big problem. In the case of simple presbyopia, the deterioration of the lens naturally does not recover, so it is necessary to examine presbyopia, glasses, or presbyopia correction, but if cataract is left unattended, it can lead to blindness.
Cataracts can cause turbidity in the transparent lens, block the passage through which light passes, cause problems like fog in the field of vision, and double vision, which can be seen multiple times with one eye.
Cataract causes vary, but they are largely divided into innate and acquired factors. Typical congenital factors are chromosomal abnormalities and genetic reasons.Ultraviolet rays and trauma are also cited as acquired factors.
Both have the same problem with the lens, but if there is a problem with the elasticity of presbyopia, the big difference is that cataracts have become cloudy. However, there is no big difference in the table and the initial symptoms are similar, so it can be confusing. For this reason, I emphasize that it is most important to visit a specialized clinic, receive a diagnosis, and manage it.
If the symptoms are not severe in the early stages even if you have cataracts, you can slow down the progression rate with drugs.However, if the symptoms are serious, surgical management is necessary. It is by artificial lens insertion.
Our hospital’s artificial lens implantation method is to remove the cloudy lens and correct various problems such as cataract, myopia and astigmatism from presbyopia by inserting multifocal or single focus artificial lens. If you are experiencing cataract and presbyopia together, I recommend a multifocal artificial lens that can solve these two together.
To explain in more detail, monofocal artificial lenses can generally correct only one focus, so it is inconvenient to wear presbyopia and glasses in the future. However, if you insert a multifocal lens, you can correct all the distances at once, so you don’t have to wear presbyopia or glasses. Of course, I don’t recommend multi-focusing unconditionally.You have to choose the appropriate lens according to the patient’s daily living environment, occupation, and eye condition.
If you suspect presbyopia or cataract like this, please check your eye condition through a checkup to find out whether you should correct presbyopia or cataract surgery, and then try to correct your eyesight steadily. If cataract surgery is necessary, I recommend that you focus on the experience, know-how, and methods that suit you rather than simply focusing on the price and making it a little cheaper.
Cataracts have different symptoms of turbidity and size, so you have to make a proper operation plan through a thorough examination, and you have to consult with a professional medical staff to decide on them. Also, cataract requires a specialist’s surgeon, so please check your experience and know-how background, and then check whether systematic management is carried out before choosing. 50m NAVER Corp.
