Are you following the drama "Seeing the Boundless"? Young people with cataracts are increasingly showing "little white filters" and seek medical attention quickly
Cataract is the main cause of blindness worldwide, and the incidence rate is increasing between 30 and 50 years old.
Modern people use 3C products for a long time, which leads to early vision problems and even blindness. According to statistics from the World Health Organization, cataracts are the main cause of blindness in the world. Cataracts are caused by the disease and turbidity of the originally clear and transparent crystalline lens in the eyes, making vision increasingly blurry. What’s more noteworthy is that cataracts are not a disease exclusive to the elderly, and it is not uncommon for young people to develop cataracts.
In recent years, cataracts have been trending younger, and the proportion of people aged 30-50 years old has increased. It is estimated that it may be related to high myopia, long-term overuse of eyes, excessive ultraviolet rays in outdoor activities, etc. Because cataracts often occur unknowingly and gradually worsen, and most patients do not feel any obvious symptoms. It is recommended that everyone develop the habit of regular check-ups to detect cataracts early.
Poor vision may lead to vision crisis. Seek medical attention immediately if symptoms of “little white filter” appear.
In fact, the symptoms of cataracts are like the “filter” effects in popular photography software. Patients will experience visual symptoms such as color distortion, blurred vision, and inexplicable halos. When you or your family members find that you or your family have problems such as visual impairment, reduced chroma, or blurred vision, you must seek medical attention immediately.
However, the general public is relatively unfamiliar with the symptoms of cataracts. They can use the “Little White Filter” interactive program to understand the images they see when cataracts occur and pay attention to the warning signs of cataracts as early as possible.
Cataract is the opacity of the lens in the eyeball, which prevents light from penetrating and the image cannot be focused on the retina, resulting in vision loss. The main treatment method is to replace the artificial lens through surgery. Artificial lenses imitate the refractive properties of human eye lenses and are made of materials such as synthetic plastic resin (PMMA), silicone (Silicone), and acrylic (Acrylic). They have various functions and types. Patients should discuss with their ophthalmologists before surgery to choose the intraocular lens that best meets their daily needs to regain their quality of life and healthy vision.
In addition, young people should not ignore the impact of poor vision and the possible injuries. They should develop good eye habits, protect their eyes, receive regular eye examinations, and pay more attention to the health of their eyes to avoid neglecting eye diseases such as cataracts. .
