What is the difference between cataract lens treatments?

Cataract lenses are actually artificial lenses used in cataract surgery. However, it does not mean that the more expensive the better. It needs to be determined based on the patient's actual situation. The most important thing is to pay attention to eye care.

1. For general elderly patients , it is sufficient to choose imported artificial lenses costing 2,000 or 3,000 yuan. Currently, most imported lenses at this price are soft and foldable, which result in small incisions, fast healing, and less astigmatism. In addition, many lenses are also UV-resistant.

2. Why is it that the more expensive the lens , the better? It still depends on individual differences and cannot be generalized. High-end lenses mainly include multifocal and foldable intraocular lenses, which cost nearly ten thousand yuan. They require the patient to be financially well-off and have a good fundus. They are not suitable for patients with glaucoma, fundus disease, and diabetes. High-end lenses require a perfectly centered continuous circular capsulorhexis during surgery, which places higher demands on the surgeon. Otherwise, the effect of the high-end lens will not be reflected after the operation.

3. In addition, the patient's occupation and life requirements . If she is a farmer or a housewife, the requirements for postoperative eye use are not high. She does not need to read books or face the computer frequently, do scientific research and technological work, and there is no need to use high-end lenses. If some patients are not able to adapt to the use of high-end lenses, such as those with obvious glare and double vision, some may even need lens replacement. Therefore, the choice of artificial lens should be based on one's actual situation and cannot be generalized.
