Cataract is a type of eye disorder in which eye lens become cloudy. When eye lens become cloudy, vision becomes blur and visibility reduces tremendously. This condition generally develops in elderly people because of aging. One of the way to treat cataract is through Micro Incision surgery.
Cataract can cause blindness if treatment is delayed. General symptoms of cataract are as follows:
Traditionally, cataract surgery caused bleeding of small blood vessels in the eye and recovery time used to be comparatively high. In micro-incision cataract surgery, a small incision of around 1.8mm is made. Through this incision, surgery takes place. As a result, pain and time duration of the surgery reduces. Since, the surgery is less invasive, recovery time and healing period is low.
It is important that one takes care of their eyes right since early age. Staring continuously at computer screens or television sets, increases strain on eyes. If your job demands you to be working in front of computer continuously, try to look at a distant object lying 20 feet away from you every now and then. Also, wash your eyes with cold water every hour. These things help tremendously in reducing pressure on eyes. Intake of foods rich in vitamin A like carrots, papaya, musk-melons, green leafy vegetables etc. help to maintain health of eyes.
Follow instructions of your doctor post surgery so that recovery time is kept to the minimum.
