Having
trouble with reading is not a big deal. Most people either shrug it
off or opt for glasses with higher grades. However, when the issue
escalates into problems with bright lights at night, then it's time
to see a doctor. Your concern can no longer be considered as benign
if you're found to be suffering from cataract. In such case, you'll
have to undergo an operation to remove it.
Cataract
surgery is the removal of the eye’s natural lens that has somehow
become opaque from yellow pigments. A special lens will be implanted
in its place. Things become a little more complicated if both eyes
have cataracts and surgery is recommended for them. The operations on
each will have to be done weeks apart to prevent infection in the
event that something goes wrong with one eye.
Time
is of the essence when it comes to cataract removals.
Ophthalmologists recommend that the cataracts be removed before they
develop and harden, which can complicate surgical efforts. They can
also trigger an increase in pressure on the eye that can later result
in glaucoma.
The
methods used in cataract surgery have greatly improved over the years
to the point that they can be done during the cataract’s late stage
of development. Still, it is better to nip things in the bud so you
can get back to your daily habits at the soonest possible time.
