Cheonan ophthalmology, is the haze in one eye an early symptom of cataract?Cataract and presbyopia are one of the representative senile diseases. Both diseases are difficult to distinguish because symptoms include decreased initial vision and abnormalities in the lens. However, in situations where short-range vision decreases, it is necessary to first identify the symptoms of presbyopia or cataract and get help to improve them properly. Presbyopia is characterized by a decrease in the elasticity of the lens and a decrease in short-range vision. You can correct your eyesight by using glasses for presbyopia correction. However, cataracts do not reduce the elasticity of the lens, but are characterized by blurred vision due to abnormal transparency. If the disease is left unattended as a simple presbyopia, it can cause blindness and miss proper treatment, making surgery itself difficult. In particular, if you are in your 40s and 50s or later, it is important to always look carefully at the possibility of an outbreak. So today, Cheonan Ophthalmology has set up a time to find out the symptoms of cataract and how to treat it together. In the beginning, the symptoms are insufficient and difficult to identify, so please refer to today’s content to help you understand the symptoms. Cheonan ophthalmology, from the beginning to the end of cataract symptomsIn the early stages, the lower the vision, the more similar it is to presbyopia, so it is easy to confuse. However, cataracts are difficult to notice in the early stages due to the progression of symptoms, and as they progress, one eye starts to blur, and the eyes start to look blurred and foggy.If the symptoms progress a lot, you may experience a “main blindness phenomenon” in which you can’t see things well during the day because the light entering the lens is more broken in bright places. If you have astigmatism, there is also a “double vision phenomenon” in which objects can be seen overlapping. In addition, headaches, pain, and congestion can occur along with changes in the color of the lens. This can occur because the lens clouded by cataracts gradually expands and blocks the pupil to increase intraocular pressure. If left unattended for a long time without proper surgery, intraocular pressure may increase and glaucoma may occur later, making it difficult to treat. So if you have stomach symptoms along with one eye blurry, you should take a test at the hospital. Cheonan Ophthalmology, Cataract TreatmentThe treatment at Cheonan Ophthalmology starts with prescribing drugs and delaying the symptoms to check the progress. This is because there is a treatment method suitable for the right time, so it is important not to rush through surgery with early cataracts found or to perform surgery too early.However, if you feel inconvenient in your daily life, you will undergo surgery. After checking the degree of the disease and planning the surgery method through vision tests and intraocular pressure tests, an incision window of 1~2mm size is usually made in the cornea to remove the turbid lens with ultrasonic waves and insert the artificial lens. The artificial lens is divided into multifocal and monofocal. Multifocal can correct both short, medium, and long distances, while single focal can correct only one focus, so auxiliary tools such as presbyopia are required after treatment.Was today’s content prepared by Cheonan Ophthalmology helpful? The initial symptoms of cataract are easily confused with presbyopia, so please remember that it is most important to have a regular checkup once every six months to one year to check the condition of your eyes.
