What are the treatments for cataracts?

Nowadays, many middle-aged and elderly friends often encounter some eye diseases. One of the more common ones is cataracts. Cataracts can cause our eyes to see unclearly, and even make it impossible to focus when looking at things. They may also be blurred. Severe cases may cause glaucoma. Therefore, the treatment of cataracts is mainly through surgery and medication.

Treatment strategy

There is currently no proven drug for the treatment of cataracts, and surgery is the main treatment.

Drug treatment

There is no definite effect of drug treatment for cataracts. For some early cataracts, the progression of the disease may be slowed down and vision may be slightly improved after taking medication.

Surgery

1. Cataract phacoemulsification: A new type of cataract surgery developed in recent years at home and abroad. Its advantages are small incision, less tissue damage, short operation time and rapid vision recovery. 2. Extracapsular cataract extraction: Visual function can be restored immediately after the operation. Extracapsular cataract extraction has become the routine surgical method for cataracts.

Prognosis

The prognosis of this disease is good, and patients can recover normal visual function after anti-inflammatory treatment.
