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).
Although it will ultimately depend on how well the first eye is healing, most cataract surgeons recommend waiting between two and four weeks between surgeries. That being said, the decision to perform surgery on the second eye depends upon whether the cataract in that eye is resulting in difficulties in "activities of daily living." These are essentially tasks that require good vision to perform: reading, driving, using the computer, etc.
Hope this helped.

Your eyes simply take in more light in order to cope with less available light. Thats why when you look in a mirror after you turn a light on your pupils start to shrink.
Your first doctor should be your family physican or pediatrician. This is to ensure that other conditions such as depression are addressed, as well. Ask your doctor for a referral to a psychologist and/or psychiatrist, if symptoms are not fully treated. First, though, you need to further educate yourself on the topic.

You can get colored contacts from your eye care professional. You must have an exam and a fitting, first, by an Optometrist or Ophthalmologist. They will determine the base curve of your cornea, whether it is steep or flat, and then they can determine which brand of contact is best for you. Colored contacts come in various types. There are enhancers for light eyed patients, which just enhance the base color of the iris and opaque lenses to change the color of your eyes. Even if you don't have a prescription and want to get colored contacts, a doctor must examine your eyes and give you a prescription for them. They are considered by the FDA as medical devices, and if the prescribing doctor has written a prescription for you to wear them, he or she is medically liable for that diagnosis and prescription. Usually most contact prescriptions expire within a year.
Peripheral edema is your extremeties, hands, feet, arms and legs. Peripheral edema usually affects feet and legs.
Cataracts are caused by a cloudy film forming in the lens of an eye. It reduces vision greatly, and can lead to blindness. If people cannot see well, they cannot drive to transport goods.
Difficult to answer this question as different surgery has different complication rates. Also it will depend upon the age, and build of the patient and existing co morbidity's from other illness
I would try online. Many forms are online these days.
Cateracts that are located in rivers-a water fall or spot where water flows very fast over rocks
Your question is somewhat ambiguous. I don't know for certain if you are seeing grey in the corner of your visual field, or if you have seen in a mirror that there is something grey in the corner of your eyes. In the former case, this might be an early symptom of a serious condition such as retinal detachment or cataracts; if so, you should consult an optometrist and get a medical diagnosis. If you have just seen some gray substance collected in the corner of your eyes, that is probably dried mucus, which is not particularly unusual although if the quantity is abnormally great, it might be the result of an allergy of some kind, probably to pollen.
In the course of the Nile in Sudan it flows over 6 groups of cataracts [which are sections of faster-flowing water with many small islands, shallow water and rocks, forming an obstacle to navigation by boats] from the first at Aswan to the sixth at Sabaloka just north of Khartoum.
The main symptom of a cataract is blurred vision caused by the clouding of the eye lens. Cataract symptoms progress as the cataract develops. Initial symptoms of a cataract are: * Your vision becomes cloudy or blurred * Your night vision becomes worse, for example the headlights of oncoming cars may dazzle you * You may see halos around bright lights or lights seem glaring * It is harder for you to distinguish colours * You need to change your prescription glasses more oftenand as the cataract develops: * You will have double vision * A visible milky cover appears in the eye * It is more difficult to distinguish contrasts, like shadows and contours, in your visionFor more in-depth information on symptoms of a cataract and cataract extraction surgery:http://cataracteyesurgery.co.UK/guides/symptoms
Put a peice of wax paper over your eye. If your vision is like that, you might have a cataract.

Cataract surgery and it's expensive so at least get one eye done. Dogs get cataracts just like people do. Border Collies can be prone to this disease. I live in Canada and friends of ours (live in Canada) have a Border Collie and had cataracts on both eyes. They could only afford to get one eye done and it was almost $3,000. You can speak with your vet and see if there is any way you can pay for a medical plan for your cat and then get the surgery done which will be a lot less. At least give the dog the sight of one eye.
I am using my computer after around 96 hours of my cataract surgery; and it's fine.
Yes, LASIK can be used to "fine tune" the results of cataract surgery with lens implants. This is best performed after the eye has stabilized and after YAG laser capsulotomy if it is required. It is especially valuable to have LASIK after the newer implants that are multifocal such as the Alcon Restore lens, so that the special optics will work properly.
A cataract is a very common condition of the lens (a structure located inside the eye which, along with the cornea, focuses light on the retina for clear vision). A cataract is a clouding or opacity of the lens that results in decreased vision, glare, and/or haloes around lights. If these symptoms interfere with one's quality of life, an ophthalmologist can remove the lens and replace it with an artificial lens. Cataract surgery is one of the most common surgeries performed in developed countries. A number of factors increase the likelihood of cataract formation, with increasing age being the most common cause, in addition to trauma, frequent ocular steroid administratioon, prior intraocular surgery (e.g., for glaucoma and retinal detachment), various disorders of the body (e.g., diabetes), other disorders of the eye (e.g., intrraocular inflammation called "uveitis"), the use of non-ocular medications (e.g., amiodarone, which is used to treat abnormal heart rhythms), and many others. Congenital cataracts (meaning present at birth) require prompt removal because they can cause irreversible vision loss in infants; by preventing light from reaching the retina, the area of the brain responsible for interpreting signals from the eye do not have an opportunity to develop properly. It is important to note that almost everyone over rhe age of 40 has some degree of lens clouding and thus technically has a cataract. But only visually signicant cataracts (i.e., those causing symptoms) should be of any concern to the patient or physician.
No, glasses cannot correct cataracts. I have five on one eye and four on the other, my eye vision is becoming burred. My eye doctor says when I'm ready he will take them off.
