    It is at this aspect that people seek out the attention doctor to consider a Cataract operation. Additional types of cataracts are those stimulated by trauma, drugs and a few are even congenital.

    Today's cataract surgery is far more advanced than that done even decade ago. Today a small incision is made in the temporal aspect of the cornea, the organic lens is removed. An implant is introduced in the eye through this beginning. Complications to this point can be a poor incision resulting excessively aqueous fluid leaking out and rupture with the natural lens. This will results in lens protein floating in the eye causing an Iritis that's an internal inflammatory response. This is treated with steroid eye drops. Although healing period will get longer, the long phrase prognosis is unchanged.

    The brand new intraocular implants, unlike this older ones, are multifocal. That is to say, they let the patient see both distance and near just as they did when we were looking at younger. The Rezoom contact, and the Restore are generally used implants. They work on the principle of multiple images being projected to the retina, and allows the individual to see at just about all distances. They are much like old style bifocal disposable lenses like the Echelon. The Rezoom carries a center zone for near surrounded by distance zones. The Restore has the contrary. The center area is for far while the neighboring zones are for in close proximity to. Clinical practice has not shown either one better then the other for any average patient.

    However, the same problems arise as did along with the Echelon bifocal lens. The first is that glare, especially during the night time, is bothersome. The second is that there's usually some sacrifice with regard to vision at near. The third complication is that the implant must be PERFECTLY placed in the heart of the pupil. Many times the implant may shift as the eye heals, and in the event the "sac" that hold the lens brakes, the implant will also move. Any of these movements will result in decreased vision and on occasion, double vision. Some surgeons have started out sewing the implant in position to prevent movement.

    In short, the concept is acceptable for these implants, but in practice I have found that most patients with each other complain about glare together with poor vision requiring eye glasses for either distance, near or both. It may be the side effect of increase vision, and glare that disturb most people. Keeping in mind that a lot of cataract patients are more mature adults, and are less tolerant these visual affects, one must think longer and hard if they are prepared to take a chance with these multifocal implants. Being a side note, the best results with each other have been try using a Rezoom in one eye in addition to a Restore in the other.

    With cataract surgery to date advanced, the best results apparently still be using a single vision distance implant together with using reading glasses when surgery.

    Cataract surgery -- probably the most performed surgery in the world -- has improved considerably. This surgery has a success rate of more than 97 percent. Still, you need to take good care to your eye or eyes when surgery. cape optometrist, optometrist cape girardeau, cape optometrist
