the surgical removal of a cataract-clouded lens

that's what she said

MY father had cataract replacement-- From what I gather-- it is not the cataract getting cloudy. It perhaps may be bodily fluids in and around the new placement. Your best answer would come from an Optomotrist. Call your local--You may be able to get a better.

Although the atypical antipsychotics are generally safe, clozapine has been associated with severe agranulocytosis, a shortage of white blood cells.

Flashing lights (or fireworks) just outside of your field of vision can be a symptom of a retinal detachment. If the "lightshow" has occurred more than once, it would be wise to make an appointment with your eye doc or primary care doc immediately.

Retinal detachment is repairable if caught early. Making the appointment could save your eyesight!

the lens in the eye is used to focus.when it becomes opaque youcant see anything.for example specs help you see better but if they are replaced by two pieces of circular cardboard you cant see anything.if you get a cataract the lens has to be replaced by an artificial intraocular lens.

one week, after that continue with steroid drops for 2 weeks

The three different classifications of cataract grading are nuclear, cortical and posterior subscapular cataract. The most common method of grading is called lens opacities classification system3

Cataract surgery does include risks of retinal problems. Despite this, the procedure is considered extremely safe. Following are the most commonly seen retinal issues after cataract surgery.

The most commonly encountered retinal issue after cataract surgery is macular edema (also known as Irvine-Gass syndrome). Although this can happen to anyone, it is more commonly seen among those who have a condition known as an epiretinal membrane (or "Cellophane Maculopathy"), diabetes, or whose capsule ruptured during cataract surgery. Sometimes the condition will resolve on its own though the treatment of this condition often includes use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as well as topical steroids. Occasionally, an injection is given in the eye to resolve the macular swelling.

Less common, but more feared is retinal detachment. The retina can spontaneously detach from the back of the eye months to years after a successful cataract surgery. Even though the risk is small (1% to 2%), patients can have substantially and permanently reduced vision with retinal detachment if it is not urgently and successfully treated. Therefore, it is important to report floaters, light flashes and a curtain-like vision loss to the eye surgeon within 24 hours of onset of symptoms so immediate management may be rendered. People who are near-sighted (even if they had prior LASIK) are at a higher risk of retinal detachment.

Even less common is light toxicity from the microscope illumination system. With modern cataract surgery often taking less than 20 minutes this is now a very rare occurrence.

Medicare will cover surgery to remove the cataract and replace your eye's lens with a man-made intraocular lens.

Yes, glaucoma does hurt. Glaucoma causes symptoms to include severe eye pain, headache, an upset stomach and blurred vision or loss of vision.

the cataracts hurt egypt by making it hard to travel from place to place

Actually, there is always iritis after cataract surgery. This is simply part of the natural healing response of the eye. Cataract surgeons grade this on a scale of "trace" to "4+." With the standard post-op drops this usually resolves completely by four to eight weeks after surgery. However, certain conditions (such as diabetes) can result in a longer course of inflammation.

Sometimes, however, the iris is damaged during cataract surgery. Iris trauma can result from conditions that affect the dilation of the pupil (such as pseudoexfoliation and use certain medications). Anyone taking Tamsulosin (aka Flomax) or drugs like it should tell their eye surgeon as these drugs are associated with a condition known as Intraoperative Floppy Iris Syndrom (IFIS) that can increase the risk of iris damage, capsular rupture, retinal detachment, etc. If the surgeon is made aware of the use of this drug before surgery, s/he can often take extra precautions to limit the risks during surgery.

After cataract surgery, you can expect your vision to begin improving within a few days. Complete stabilization of your vision can be achieved within few weeks up to three months. If you're experiencing serious difficulties adjusting post surgery, you may want to consult with your doctor to set a recovery strategy. Fortunately, a new, FDA approved approach uses a training computer software to repair the blurry vision induced by cataract surgery in order to shorten the adaptation period post surgery.

If the lenses are embedded in the eye, no. These lenses are permanent, acting just like the cornea of the eye. They are implanted where the cornea would have been because...during the surgery...the original corneas were destroyed to make room for the lenses.

If the lenses are external, they are like any contact lens. They fit over the cornea and need to be removed for regular cleaning. Consult your ophthalmologist concerning this procedure.

The embedded lenses do not need to be cleaned because the body automatically cleans them just like it cleans the cornea. If you are experiencing any problem that makes you think that the lenses need to be cleaned, consult your surgeon. Frequently, there are conditions that affect vision that have nothing to do with the lenses. Discuss this immediately with your health care professional before there are further problems.

Cataracts are the clouding of the lenses in oneâ??s eyes. They are the leading cause of blindness globally and are very common in older people. They can be treated in a number of ways including new glasses, brighter lighting, and surgery.

Between the ages of 52 and 64, there is a 50% chance of having a cataract, while at least 70% of those 70 and older are affected.

Yes, cataracts are made of acrylic and will not affect the MRI scan in any way.

A cataract is the clouding of the lens in the eye preventing normal vision by restricting light passage through the lens. The most common type of cataract due to unprotected exposure to sun rays is nuclear cataracts. Cataract affect people usually as they age due to the changes in the proteins in the lens.

I had a cataract when I was born, and got a donor lens when I was 2 years old. (I'm 24 now).

My original lens and the cataract was removed, HOWEVER the donor lens did not work. This was 22 years ago when this surgery was done, but the way my eye was supposed to "work", was we covered up my good eye, to strengthen the bad one. Being two years old, I didn't understand this and am legally blind in my right eye now.

I have vision out of my bad eye, just not enough to make anything out. I can see blobs of things and colors.

Cataract.

A delta is a low, watery land formed at the mouth of a river. It is formed from the silt, sand and small rocks that flow downstream in the river and are deposited in the delta. A delta is often (but not always) shaped like a triangle (hence its name, delta, a Greek letter that is shaped like a triangle).
