A month ago, Uncle Huang became increasingly unable to see clearly and his eyes were almost blind, so he was sent to Hengyang Aier Eye Hospital for examination by his family.
Red Net Time Hengyang October 10 (Correspondent Liu Yinhui) Uncle Huang (pseudonym) is deeply disturbed by " cataract ". His family urged him to go to the hospital for treatment. Every time, Uncle Huang was ruling that "if the cataract is surgery, he will be blind." It was not until a month ago that Uncle Huang was getting more and more unable to see clearly and his eyes were almost blind, so he was sent to Hengyang Aier Eye Hospital by his family. After examination, Uncle Huang was diagnosed with cataracts in both eyes and needed to undergo cataract surgery as soon as possible. Based on Uncle Huang's condition and family situation, cataract surgery assistance can be received through the "Charity Light Tour" eye disease relief program.
Aier Eye Department Director Hengyang District and Cataract Surgery Expert Luo Weixiao said that in clinical treatment, many patients have the misunderstanding that "cataract will be blind if they have surgery". The truth is that if cataracts are not performed, they will inevitably be completely invisible if they are delayed. "Cataracts are common eye diseases in middle-aged and elderly groups. The incidence rate continues to increase with age. If cataracts are not treated promptly, it may cause complications such as secondary glaucoma and uveitis. Patients may experience headaches, eye pain, tears, nausea, vomiting, etc. If the surgery is reoperated, the effect will be poor, and sometimes even the opportunity for surgery to recover." Luo Weixiao added that early detection and early treatment are the correct way to treat cataracts. Once the lens becomes turbid, it cannot be reversed. Only by implanting artificial lenses in surgically to replace the already turbid crystal can there be hope to see it again.
After detailed preoperative examination and ruled out the relevant surgical contraindications, Luo Weixiao successfully completed the left eye cataract surgery for Uncle Huang. On the first day after the operation, Uncle Huang's left eye vision returned to 1.0 from index/10cm. "I can see it, I can see it, I can see it all in your white coat!" Uncle Huang said happily during the review.
"Once a cataract is diagnosed, you should seek medical attention actively and undergo surgery in a timely manner." Luo Weixiao reminded that the age of cataract surgery is not the main problem. As long as the condition of an elderly cataract patient is relatively stable and in good condition, he can undergo surgery. For cataract patients, as long as they feel their vision is affected and they cannot live or work normally, they can consider conducting a comprehensive examination to determine the appropriate time for surgery to avoid irreversible vision loss.
It is reported that "Charity Light Walk" is an eye disease relief project jointly established by Hunan Eye Love Public Welfare Fund and Hengyang Charity Federation jointly established the "Charity Light Walk Special Fund". Hengyang Aier Eye Hospital, as a medical executive institution, helps poor eye disease patients in Hengyang area receive treatment through free eye disease diagnosis and public welfare surgery assistance. Since the project was launched in December 2016, Hengyang Aier Eye Hospital has formed several special medical poverty alleviation teams, bringing professional inspection equipment to townships, conducting public welfare blindness prevention census for residents in poor areas, and providing surgical or treatment assistance. At present, the "Charity Light Tour" eye disease relief project has helped more than 700 poor families regain their confidence in life.
Luo Weixiao introduced that the "Charity Light Tour" eye disease relief project is still in progress, and will continue to provide assistance to the minimum living allowance households in Hengyang (including 7 counties and 5 districts), the targets of special hardship support, the disabled (who enjoy the two-subsidy policy), the monitoring targets to prevent relapse into poverty, and the targets to return to poverty due to illness.
