Treatment of cataract in Kharkov

Cataract is a lens opacity that can be partial or complete. Pathology can develop in men and women at any age, it also happens in children. However, in most cases, it occurs in the senior people. As a rule, a sedentary lifestyle, endocrine disorders, diabetes mellitus, as well as eye injuries and prolonged use of drugs contribute to the development of the disease.

Causes of cataract

The main cause for the disease development is aging of the body. However, the appearance of abnormality may be due to genetic predisposition or congenital pathology (chromosomal abnormalities, intrauterine malformations). Infectious and “eye” diseases, unbalanced nutrition, bad habits (in particular, drinking alcohol) are provoking factors. The New York State Department of Health warns that long-term smoking contributes to age-related cataracts as well as other eye diseases (glaucoma, dry eye).

Symptoms of cataract include the following:

  • decrement in visual acuity (sense of blurring, reduplication of objects);
  • insufficient contrast, including color fading;
  • pupil color change;
  • presence of blinding halos around bright objects.

Correct diagnosis can only be made by ophthalmologist after examining the visual system. As a rule, a patient is prescribed visometry (determination of visual acuity), tonometry (measurement of intraocular tension), perimetry (examination of visual fields), as well as ophthalmoscopy (examination of the fundus). If necessary, the doctor may order additional examinations (for instance, eye ultrasound).
