How does old person get cataract to do

First: compared with the past, the current surgical methods and conditions have made great progress, and the effect is increasingly satisfactory. It is not necessary to wait until you can't see your fingers. As long as the cataract affects the normal work and life of the patients, and the vision drops below 0.5, the operation can be performed. If we miss the best treatment opportunity and wait until the cataract is too "mature", it may lead to serious consequences.

Second, we only need simple treatment of YAG laser. In addition, after the operation, eat more vegetables, fruits, foods rich in vitamin C and vitamin E, pay attention to the combination of work and rest with eyes, which can also avoid this situation to a great extent.

Third: the treatment of cataract drugs have no exact effect. At present, both at home and abroad are in the stage of exploration and research. Some early cataracts may slow down the development of the disease after medication, and their eyesight will also be slightly improved. For near mature cataracts, drug treatment has no practical significance. At present, there are no less than dozens of commonly used drugs in clinic, including eyedrops or oral Chinese and Western medicines, but none of them are available It has definite therapeutic effect.
