Cataract Cause, Cataract Symptoms, Cataract Treatment
Behind your pupils is a soft jell o-like lens on each side surrounded by a thin layer of muscle which stretches and squeezes it to focus images on the back of your eye where the image is turned into electrical impulses and sent to your brain for processing. This lens obviously must be see-through clear for seeing to work. But insults to the lens can scar it turning it from water clear to cloudy white ie. a cataract. Cause of Cataracts:
Cataract Prevention:
Symptoms of Cataracts:
Cataract Treatment:The TREATMENT FOR CATARACTS is to remove and replace old opaque ones with artificial new clear lenses.
This calls for eye surgery. In this operation, a small slit is made over the top of your iris and the cornea peeled back. Through this keyhole the cataract old lens is shelled out and a new artificial clear lens is slipped into it's place. The cornea is then flapped back into place and stitched down with very fine thread. When you open your eyes again, viola, perfect vision.
