As a well-known "gold medal doctor" in Xianyang Aier Eye Hospital, Director Chen Xiaojin of the Comprehensive Outpatient Department is full of outpatient and surgery almost every working day. Even though she faces many patients every day, the recent experience of one patient still makes her sigh.
Not long ago, an old man who had been "blind" for nearly five years successfully "restored his mind" with the help of Director Chen. The moment the gauze was removed on the face of the eye, the old man and his daughter hugged each other and cried, and the picture once made people cry. In fact, all this is only due to Director Chen's cataract surgery for the elderly.
An old man who should have enjoyed his old age was pushed into the "dark" world for five years just because of a wrong understanding. The reasons are that there is distrust of modern medical technology, obstruction of information communication, and perhaps negligence of relatives and friends around you.
Chen Xiaojin: Deputy Chief Physician of Xianyang Aier Eye Department/Director of Comprehensive Ophthalmology Department/Huanjing Cataract Expert
In fact, in my country, nearly half of the blind people are caused by cataracts. Many of them should not have been sentenced to the "blind" camp. Some elderly people initially just have blurred vision, but because of cognitive errors, they think it is just an age-related and common "presbyopia". When I came to the hospital for treatment after my vision became blurry, I had missed the best treatment opportunity, which is very regrettable. So how to correctly distinguish between cataracts and presbyopia? I will teach you a very simple method - cataracts, both looking far and near are blurred; presbyopia, looking near is blurred, and seeing far is clear.
01. How to prevent cataracts?
Diet and daily life should be regular and pay attention to the combination of work and rest, maintain exercise, and maintain comprehensive nutrition. Changing bad habits in life, such as smoking and alcoholism, will increase the risk of lens turbidity. It is recommended that over the age of 60 should go to the hospital for routine ophthalmology examination at least once a year to detect and treat early and avoid delaying the condition.
02. The screening and testing of eye diseases is very important.
Because some cataract patients will also suffer from eye diseases such as macular degeneration in the elderly, rash cataract surgery may lead to blindness. If surgery is performed, you must first conduct a comprehensive examination of the eyes and check for other eye diseases. Diseases such as senile macular degeneration and glaucoma are different from cataracts and must be treated.
With the advancement of technology, cataract surgery is now very mature. Traditional phacoemulsified cataract surgery that is often used in clinical practice does not require the lens to "aging", "hardening", or "maturity". As long as the patient feels that cataracts have affected daily life, he can check and perform the surgery.
No injections during the entire cataract surgery, which takes a short time and only add anesthetics to the surface of the eye without any pain. Everyone can rest assured. Director Chen Xiaojin is a professional cataract surgery expert with nearly 20 years of clinical experience. The number of surgeries has exceeded 10,000, which makes her every operation look so skillful that she has received, and she has received countless honors and praises.
