I'm concerned about cataracts.

In the past, cataracts were common among elderly grandmothers and grandfathers.

It mainly involves the area where you received diagnosis and surgery.

These days, I'm worried because the age group is gradually getting younger.

 

Cataracts~

Clouding of the lens causes objects and vision to appear blurry.

It is said to be a characteristic of cataracts.

 

About four years ago, when I was working on a PC all the time, I suddenly started feeling very tired.

My eyes looked blurry, and they felt dry and painful.

At first, I thought it was due to dry eye syndrome, so I went to an ophthalmologist, and my vision suddenly improved.

They prescribed glasses because my eyesight had worsened.

 

 

 

Currently, after getting my glasses prescribed and wearing them, my vision is definitely clearer.

Artificial tears have also always become a necessary part.

The problem is that as I get older and pass my 40s,

My vision is becoming blurry again.

 

I'm actually worried about cataracts.

So, what are the causes of cataracts these days?

What is good to prevent cataracts?

What are some foods that are good for cataracts?

I'm trying out various searches and gathering information.

 

What is the cause of cataracts?

Most congenital conditions have unknown causes, but they can be hereditary, caused by intrauterine infections, or related to metabolic disorders (especially diabetes).

There are also cases caused by 의.

As people age, acquired cataracts develop, and age-related cataracts are the most common.

It can also be caused by trauma, illness, inflammation inside the eye, or medication.

 

What is the treatment for cataracts?

Since the cloudy lens caused by medication cannot be cleared,

If you experience inconvenience in daily life, you may need to undergo surgery.

The surgery involves removing the contents of the lens with ultrasound and inserting an artificial lens.

Intraocular implants are permanent and are not removed unless there are complications.

 

What are the ways to prevent cataracts?

Early diagnosis is said to be the most important.

It is natural to develop age-related cataracts as you get older.

Cataracts can also develop due to strong ultraviolet rays, so when going outdoors,

It's good to bring sunglasses, wide-brimmed hats, parasols, and other items to block out ultraviolet rays.

Taking supplements like lutein can also be helpful.

I will also try to make an effort because I heard that consistently consuming green and yellow vegetables is helpful.

 

I'm visiting next month for an eye examination, just in case.

I'm honestly more worried about whether this is a precursor symptom of cataracts.
