The 6 -year -old boy's vision dropped to 0.08, which turned out to be caused by congenital cataract

Wuhan Evening News July 18 (Correspondent Ao Pan) The 6 -year -old boy's single -eye vision dropped to 0.08. In the summer, he went to the hospital for examination and found that it was caused by congenital cataract. According to Xu Rong, the director of the hospital's old vision and cataract department, since the summer vacation, the department has received several congenital cataract children. It is regrettable that they have not been treated in time because they are not treated in time and cause a certain degree of damage to vision.

Rui Rui (pseudonym), who lives in Xiantao, was found by his family a year ago that he had a bad problem that he liked to rub his eyes. "Children at home are still tilting their heads at home, thinking that he didn't care if he was funny." Ms. Liu said that because Rui Rui's left eye was not red, swollen or painful, it was mistaken for myopia. As a result, when I went to the glasses shop to match the mirror, the boss felt wrong after checking it. It is recommended to go to the hospital to see it. So taking advantage of the summer vacation, his parents brought Rui Rui to the hospital.

Director Xu Rong is surgery for children.

After the old vision of the hospital and the director of the cataract department Xu Rong, the inspection found that Rui Rui's right eye vision was 0.8, while the left eye vision was only 0.08, and the polar crystals of the left eye in the middle of the left eye were turbid. Essence According to the results of various inspections, the diagnosis is "congenital cataract, left -eye amblyopia, and double -eye refractiveness". It is recommended to surgery.

"Those children who only have monocular cataracts can use another normal eye to see things clearly, so it is difficult for parents to find their children's vision problems in daily life." Xu Rong regretted.

On the morning of July 14th, Xu Rong successfully performed surgical treatment for Rui Rui. After surgery, Rui Rui's left eye was recovered to 0.6 and was discharged from the morning of July 18. After discharge, Rui Rui also needs to adhere to follow -up and long -term amblyopia training, and his vision is expected to improve.

"Congenital cataracts failed to discover and treat in time. After the visual development was basically completed, the treatment would be poor. Therefore, it is very important to prevent and early identification and early treatment." Xu Rong said that congenital cataract refers to birth. Cataracts with innate genetic or developmental disorders that are gradually formed after or after birth may occur in the disease, or may also develop the disease at the same time. She suggested that the child should go to the hospital for examination on a regular basis when he is 3 years old. If the vision is found in time, it can be treated in time to avoid the child's vision that cannot be made up.
