It is known that the lens throughout life increases in volume and mass, and therefore with the age change its shape, consistency and transparency. A cataract is a chronic progressive disease. Vision may deteriorate at different rates, but in most cases without treatment, the disease quickly leads to a complete cataract. Age of cataracts are the most common form of the disease. Among the cataracts of different origins, they occupy a considerable share. Age of cataracts are one of the main reasons slabovideniya and blindness in people of working age. Previously ophthalmologists felt that senile cataract removed only after it has matured. It takes an average of 3 to 5 years or more. Today, the operation can be performed even if a sufficiently good eyesight, if it is necessary for normal activity (eg, teachers, drivers of cars, fliers, etc.). The best results are obtained when the operation is not fully mature cataract. Removal of mature cataracts due to a number of negative points. First, the longer the ripening, the denser became the nucleus of the lens, which is also slowly at first painted in gray, then to grayish-yellow color. In some cases, the kernel can buy a brown or even black color. This prevents the surgeon during the operation to see the capsule of the lens. If the cataract is mature, and especially overripe, suffers from the pod itself. It occurs dystrophic changes, and its strength is significantly reduced. Therefore the surgeon during the operation is difficult to produce the necessary manipulations. In this case, an artificial lens is much more difficult to fix because of the danger of breaking the capsule. In addition, as would be accurately and precisely not an operation, some number overripened the lens mass removed from the capsule enters the camera eye. This causes an increase in intraocular pressure, eye heals after surgery is worse. Therefore, removing immature cataract gives the best result. There are many types of surgical operations, but the essence of them all is to remove darkened lens and replace it on the intraocular lens (IOL). The decision about which type of operation made by a doctor for each patient individually. Cataract surgery is a microsurgical manipulation. It is performed under a microscope, using the finest tools and supplies. Instead of extracapsular cataract extraction to a more gentle, seamless surgery - ultrasonic method for cataract removal or phacoemulsification. Operation phacoemulsification requires a guaranteed result, it can be done with any form of cataract, not waiting for its maturity. Its principal difference is that do not need to dissect the cornea almost an inch. Suffice it's tiny, only 3-millimeter incision. And it can not do in the cornea, and sclera. In addition, it is most favorable with concomitant pathology of the retina, as performed in a completely closed system at constant intraocular pressure. Removal of cataract by the method of sutureless surgery has advantages over other operations, namely: * Reduces the trauma of intraocular tissues; * Use only local anesthesia; * Reduces the likelihood of infectious complications; * Allows you to maintain normal life in the early postoperative period, no restrictions visual loads; * Achieving a high visual acuity in the short term; * Reduction of postoperative astigmatism; * The lack of seams; * Current models of soft intraocular lenses retain the optical power throughout the life of the patient; * Allows you to implant an artificial lens with any degree of maturity of the cataract; Thus, if vision is reduced in the sick eye, although it is not too interfere in daily life, to do the operation. Wonder drugs capable of restoring the transparency of the lens does not exist. His clouding - is an irreversible change therein proteins, which can not be solved by any diet, no special massage or different people's means.
