My environment is sinking behind a milky wall!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Do you know this feeling? Despite the glasses on your nose, you can no longer see clearly. Distance vision worsens more and more when driving<\/a>? Often the first step is to go to an optician. But even new spectacle lenses do not bring any improvement. The cataract symptoms begin gradually and become stronger and stronger. The view appears clouded, the view is limited as if by a milky window pane. Many sufferers always try to clean the spectacle lenses in order to achieve an improvement in visual performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The reason for the clouded vision may be the widespread eye disease of cataracts. This is called a cataract in technical language. Cataracts cause clouding of the lens of the eye. This is a process that is usually very slow and can take years. At the beginning, the visual acuity of those affected is still quite good. A first symptom is usually an increased sensitivity to glare. Especially when driving at night, people feel strongly dazzled when headlights come on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even in summer, sunglasses are usually put on, as the eyes have become more sensitive to light due to cataracts<\/a>. In the next step, those affected notice that contours are slowly blurring and colours fading. In addition, the table lamp is often switched on when reading, as suddenly a greater light requirement is required.<\/p>\n\n\n The opacity of the lens causes scattered light on the retina of the eye. The retina contains the photoreceptors, which consist of cones and rods and are responsible for vision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If the center of the eye lens becomes cloudy, this is referred to as a core cataract. People with this type of cataract often become much more short-sighted than before. Later, double images can also be perceived, especially when looking at the vicinity. The fog also thickens more and more over time. Even glasses no longer provide improved vision. The best cataract prevention<\/a> is a healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lens opacity is part of a normal and natural aging process of the eye. Over time, the composition of the lens fluid changes. This results in the most common form of cataract, the senile cataract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, there are other, rather rarer causes of cataracts. For example, diabetes, congenital forms of lens clouding or trauma such as a blow to the eye can be the basis of the disease. But smoking, malnutrition or prolonged use of cortisone can also help to cloud the lens. If it is a congenital cataract, a viral infection in the mother’s pregnancy may be the reason for this.<\/p>\n\n\n The cataract can be recognized by the following symptoms:<\/p>\n\n\n To combat cataracts, the body’s own lens must be removed and replaced with an artificial lens. In today’s world, it is advisable to do this by means of laser surgery. Many therefore ask themselves the following question: Does a cataract surgery<\/a> make sense, or not? The procedure itself is almost painless and takes place under local anesthesia. In addition, the cataract operation is completed in a few minutes. After laser eye treatment, the patient can see again without a milky veil in his field of vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat can be the trigger?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
