Can you perform this cataract surgery when you are old?

The second is to worry

Is there any danger of repeated surgery?

In response to these issues, Huaihua El Eye Hospital said!

1. Will a person suffer from multiple eye problems?

First of all, a person may suffer from multiple eye problems such as myopia, cataract, and astigmatism at the same time.

If you have myopia when you are young, with the age of age, the crystal is gradually turbid, then the probability of myopia and cataracts is extremely high.

In theory, long -term vision for patients with myopia will also affect the development of cataracts, because excessive vision can control the ciliary muscle contraction and transfusion of the crystal body in the eyes, which will cause the blood supply to the crystal blood in the eyes The weakening of blood supply may cause the nutrition of the crystal body to be affected. In the long run, the physical physical convex convex and insufficient blood supply of the lens will cause an early occurrence of cataracts.

2. Can I do cataract surgery again after myopia surgery?

At present, the mainstream myopia surgery methods mainly include laser myopia surgery and ICL artificial crystal implantation. Among them, laser myopia surgery is a corneal tissue with a certain thickness of laser cutting to change the shape of the cornea Do not enter the eyes, only on the cornea on the surface of the eyeball.

The cataract surgery is 2-3 mm incisions on the edge of the "Black Eyes" to enter the eye for surgery. All surgery is performed in the eyes.

Myopia surgery is surgery on the third layer of the cornea

Dean Zheng Huahua Haihua Eye Ophthalmology Hospital said: The surgery part of myopia and cataract surgery is not the same. In the case of eye conditions permit, I have undergone myopia surgery when I was young, and I can perform cataract surgery after I was old.

3. Is there any danger of repeating surgery?

Although myopia surgery and cataract surgery do not affect each other, patients who have undergone myopia surgery have changed the corneal ratio due to cutting corneal, which will also cause the eye structure parameters and artificial crystal degree during cataract surgery. Measurement and calculations have changed.

Therefore, when patients with myopia surgery entered middle -aged and elderly people, if there is a need for cataract surgery, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination. This can also better improve the AN and accuracy of the surgery.
