There is hope that scientists will soon invent a medicine that will save a person's vision from this disease. Today, surgeons around the world can offer a good alternative to a cloudy lens - an artificial lens or intraocular lens (IOL).
Treat cataracts drops are impossible!
The artificial lens is a crucial invention that helps save vision and allows you to lead a full life: do everyday tasks, work at a computer, and drive a car safely.
He tells us about the tasks performed by the artificial lens and how to choose the type that is right for you. Andriy Krasutsky – ophthalmologist of the clinic "Excimer” Kyiv, member of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons
What is cataract and how can it be helped?
When our lens loses its elasticity and transparency with age or due to negative factors, we begin to see worse. First, at a certain distance - this is how presbyopia, or age-related farsightedness, develops. And then, and in general, the world seems to be enveloped in a fog: the image becomes blurry, doubles, colors fade - and this is a cataract. If nothing is done, vision will deteriorate more and more, up to complete blindness.
What to do? Do not delay and replace the cloudy lens with an IOL, because it performs the same functions - focuses the image on the retina. So, the artificial lens is a complete analogue of the natural one, it is a high-tech product that saves millions of people from vision loss, disability, and often from the need to wear glasses or lenses.
