Especially in older people, which is a cataract apparent vision problems can be so treated, eliminating the need for implantation of a pair of glasses. There is both the possibility of using an artificial lens in addition to its own lens, or even communicate directly with its own lens with an artificial lens.

What procedure is used, at the discretion of the treated eye specialist. During implantation is an outpatient procedure, consequently, the eyesight can be called one day after the onset of the artificial lens as well. To determine the correct choice of lens, eye surgeon, however, requires prior information about the diameter of the pupil in darkness, the exact amount of refractive error and the actual thickness of the cornea.

Only then is the appropriate lens or the appropriate procedure can be determined by the physician. In some cases it may take several weeks after the onset of the artificial lens yet to come to residual refractive errors, which however may be caused by so-called LASIK, laser surgery, are resolved.

Since artificial lenses are relatively new on the market, it can at dusk at the edge of the lens come to glare. The cost of an artificial lens implantation is generally accepted by the health insurance only when diagnosed cataracts. Operations, which serve only as a “beauty”, ie the renunciation of glasses must be worn by the patient.

All proteins are composed of cataracts in the eye begin to adhere. A cataract starts very small. Imagine wearing a pair of glasses and there is a small smudge in the corner. When the smudge start, it’s only a small unidentified. Over time, the Smudge begins to grow and occupy more space on the surface of the lens. Everything seen through the distorting lens. This is like a waterfall. There are three types of cataracts: nuclear, cortical and sub capsular. They differ on the causes of them, and how they manifest themselves. A nuclear cataract is most often associated with natural aging. It forms the core of the eye, therefore, nuclear cataracts. A cataract that forms in the back of the eye and is most often associated with diabetes or high vision is the sub capsular. Diabetics also have to worry about the formation of the third form of cataract, cortical. Cortical cataract extends from the center of the eye of the same image with bicycle rays.

A simple artificial lens makes the difference in being able to see clearly and shrouded in mist. The ophthalmologist removes the old, damaged lens and replaces it. The surgery itself is simple and outpatient treatment. Within weeks, the patient regains his vision and is much better. It’s that easy.

Cataracts do not have to mark the end of independence and vision. There must be only a mark of his age. Under existing procedures, a person can live a full active life without the worry of losing their sight. Independence through the growing aging population. For older people no longer have to live in a world devoid slow dimming of bright colors and lights.
