The treatment of cataract is categorized into non-surgical and surgical methods. Non-surgical treatment: In the initial stage of cataracts, eye drops such as Cataract and Leucovorin can be used to control the development. Surgical treatment: cataract vision below 0.3, as long as the fundus condition is good, systemic disease symptoms are not obvious, are feasible for surgical treatment.
How many types of surgery are there? At present, we mostly use two kinds of surgery: one is extracapsular cataract extraction, with a pair of glasses after the operation; the other is the most advanced international surgery: extracapsular cataract extraction + IOL implantation; you can regain your previous normal vision immediately after the operation. At present, our hospital has introduced the most advanced equipment and instruments in the world, and has the first-class ophthalmologists in China. The cataract surgery is performed with small incision and ultrasonic emulsification, and the surgery can be completed in 2 to 5 minutes. The hospital has implanted IOLs for more than 8,000 cataract patients, giving them back their sight, and more than 90% of them have achieved visual acuity of more than 1.0 after surgery.
Can cataract surgery be performed on elderly people? Cataract surgery can be performed on elderly people over 90 years old as long as they are in good health. After the surgery, they can see the light again and feel better, which can prolong their life.
What are the medications used to treat early cataracts?
There are several types of medications for cataract treatment: ①Auxiliary nutrients such as Lyrica, Colin-rosol, etc. ②Auxiliary nutrients related to the quinone theory. ② drugs related to the quinone doctrine, such as Cataract, Falklin, leucovorin and Cure Obstacle Ning. ③ Antioxidant damage drugs such as Glutathione, Thera, SOD, etc. ④Other classes such as parotidin, cenotropic, opticinum lucidum and so on.
Chinese medicine is effective in improving vision in some patients. Acupuncture commonly used points are eyeming, behind the ball, save bamboo, fish waist, Hegu, foot Sanli, Sanyinjiao. Chinese medicine treatment is through the whole body diagnosis and treatment, early cataracts, for the liver and kidney deficiencies are given to tonify the liver and kidney method, the formula selected wolfberry chrysanthemum rhizome pills or dendrobium night-light pills; spleen deficiency qi weakness is given to replenish the spleen and qi, the formula selected to replenish the middle and benefit the qi soup; liver heat on the perturbation of the liver heat is given to clear heat and pacify the liver, the formula selected Shiduiming San; yin deficiency hosting dampness and heat is given to nourish yin and clear heat, broadly in the method of diuretic, the formula selected Manna Drink.
What are the methods of cataract surgery?
The common cataract surgery methods are cataract intracapsular extraction, cataract needle aspiration, cataract needle dialysis, etc. With the development of microsurgery, there are modern cataract extracapsular extraction, artificial lens implantation, lens ultrasonic emulsification extraction.
Traditional cataract intracapsular extraction is the complete removal of the lens including the capsule, and the posterior lens capsule cannot be preserved.
Modern cataract extracapsular extraction is characterized by anterior chamber closed suction-irrigation method of cataract extracapsular extraction under a surgical microscope. Since the intact posterior lens capsule is preserved, it shows a number of advantages over intracapsular extraction, such as reduced chance of vitreous loss, which leads to fewer complications such as retinal tears and retinal detachment.
Lens echo-emulsification extraction is a modified extracapsular cataract extraction procedure that is best suited for younger patients with a softer lens nucleus, especially those under 40 or 50 years of age who do not have corneal endothelial lesions, have a normal anterior chamber depth, and have pupils that can be dilated to 7 mm or more and have a nucleus of less than moderate hardness. Absolute contraindications to this procedure are lens subluxation and those who have lost corneal endothelium. Relative contraindications, on the other hand, depend largely on the experience and skill of the operator, such as corneal endothelial degeneration, shallow anterior chamber, small pupil, and lens nuclear sclerosis.
Cataract needle aspiration is indicated for congenital or traumatic cataracts without sclerotomies under 30 years of age
