Refractive Surgery - LASIK - RL-Prelex *New ... Map Cataracts About Cataracts Over 50% of people over the age of 60, and quite a few younger than that, suffer from cataracts. In fact, cataracts are so common that it is said that everyone will develop a cataract if they live long enough. A cataract is a progressive clouding of the eye's natural lens that interferes with light passing through the retina. Sufferers usually describe the condition as being similar to looking through a waterfall, or piece of wax paper, with a gradual blurring or dimming of vision. Reading may become more difficult and driving a car can actually become dangerous. Cataract sufferers may also be troubled by a bothersome glare, halos around lights, or even double vision. And as the cataract becomes worse, frequent changes in eyeglass prescriptions may become necessary. Currently there are no medical treatments to reverse or prevent the development of cataracts. Once they form, there is only one way to achieve clear vision again, and that is to physically remove the cataract from the eye. Cataract Surgery In your parents' or grandparents' day, cataract surgery was considered risky. It required a lengthy hospital stay and was usually postponed for as long as possible. Today, cataract surgery is performed on an out-patient basis and takes only 20 minutes. Patients can then go home and rest in comfort and avoid the inconvenience and expense of staying in a hospital.

Bandolier Bandolier Library search Aspirin and cataracts Study Results Comment Doctor, is it right that taking an aspirin a day prevents cataracts? Interesting question, but is there an informative and authoritative answer? A new long-term analysis [1] suggests that it does not. The trouble is that previous randomised trials of aspirin for heart disease have also looked at cataract, but only over a relatively short time of five or six years. Some [2,3] suggest no effect, while an early analysis from this same trial [4] suggested some protective effect. Study The study was a randomised trial of 325 mg daily aspirin plus 50 mg beta-carotene in 22,000 US male doctors aged 40 to 84 years in 1982. In 1988 the aspirin component was stopped because of a significant effect on risk of a first heart attack, but the study continued with beta-carotene, when the average length of follow up was five years. All cataracts reported up to the end of 1997, with a mean follow up of 15 years form the basis of the study. It is analysed by aspirin use during the randomised aspirin phase (intention-to-treat), and by self-reported aspirin use when doctors were given a free choice about aspirin in the sixth and seventh year of the study. Self-reported cataracts were confirmed, and details and sub types obtained from the treating ophthalmologist, with 92% confirmation. Results Over the 15 years the 22,071 doctors, with a mean age of 50 years in 1982, developed 2081 cataracts of which 1198 were extracted. That means that one cataract can be expected for every 10 doctors. There were 1084 cataracts in the aspirin group and 997 in the placebo group. Cataract development increased with duration of follow up, but there were no significant differences between groups (Figure 1).

V. Dogs and Cats: Cataracts INDEX How can you tell if your pet developes cataracts? You might not notice any behavioral changes, but his eyes will appear cloudy or blue-gray, as a result of fluid retained in the lens. In the majority of cases, cataracts are not a serious medical condition and the changes in an animal's sight are usually slight. Though cataracts generally are associated with old age and diabetes, dogs can begin to develop them when they're young-at one to three years of age. This condition often is inherited, and breeds such as golden retrievers and poodles are especially prone. If you suspect that your dog or cat may be suffering from cataracts, have your veterinarian evaluate him. Cataracts must be distinguished from nucleir sclerosis, which is a normal change seen in the lens of dogs and cats over 6 years of age. If your pet is diagnosed with cataracts, he must learn to adapt his behavior by using his other senses to compensate for the loss of vision, Dogs and cats can adapt surprisingly well to loss of vision, but there are several things you can do to help ease the process. It's best to keep your pet's environment as stable as possible. Try not to rearrange furniture, and keep his food dish, water bowl and bed in the same place. If you have a cat who is developing cataracts, be sure to keep his litterbox in its usual spot.

A cataract is a loss of transparency, or clouding, of the normally clear lens of the eye. When the lens gets cloudy enough to obstruct vision to any significant degree, glasses or contact lenses may not sharpen your vision as much as they could before. The time to have the cataract surgery is when your vision is bad enough that it interferes with your lifestyle. Cataract surgery is a very successful operation.

What is a cataract? A cataract is an opacification or clouding of the lens of the eye. Diagram courtesy of the National Eye Institute, National Institutes of Health The lens helps to focus light onto the retina. The light-sensitive cells in the retina then transmit visual signals via the optic nerve to the brain. The perception of a clear, sharp image depends on a clear lens. As we age, however, the lens begins to opacify. The cloudy lens, or cataract, blocks and scatters the light, making it difficult for one to see. Who is at risk for cataract?

Veterinarian Referrals Why Refer to the AMC How to Refer ... the AMC Treatment of Cataracts in Dogs A cataract is any opacity of the crystalline lens. Cataracts are common in many domestic animals, with dogs having the highest incidence among companion animals. Most cataracts are inherited and bilateral but few are symmetrical. Cataracts in dogs may be associated with diabetes mellitus, radiotherapy, electrical shock, trauma, and uveitis. Puppies given milk replacer develop cataracts at a higher rate than suckling puppies. In cats, cataracts are most commonly associated with uveitis and are not amenable to surgical removal. Cataracts are classified by cause, age of onset, position in the lens, and degree of maturation. Use of multiple classification schemes improves accuracy of prognosis regarding vision loss and progression of disease. Classifications by age of onset are congenital, juvenile, and senile. Congenital cataracts are present at birth. These cataracts may be inherited, such as in Schnauzers, or associated with a systemic abnormality present in the bitch during gestation. If the insult occurs early in gestation, the primary lens fibers are affected, resulting in nuclear opacity. Nuclear cataracts are usually bilateral, rarely cause visual difficulty, and usually do not progress. Juvenile cataracts develop before 6 years of age and are generally heritable. Senile cataracts develop in older dogs (i.e, > 6 years of age).

MAIN SEARCH INDEX Cataracts Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources Definition A cataract is a cloudiness or opacity in the normally transparent crystalline lens of the eye. This cloudiness can cause a decrease in vision and may lead to eventual blindness. Description presbyopia . It is a normal condition of aging , generally resulting in the need for reading glasses. The lens is made up of approximately 35% protein and 65% water. As people age, degenerative changes in the lens' proteins occur. Changes in the proteins, water content, enzymes, and other chemicals are some of the reasons for the formation of a cataract. The major areas of the lens are the nucleus, the cortex, and the capsule. The nucleus is in the center of the lens, the cortex surrounds the nucleus, and the capsule is the outer layer. Opacities can occur in any area of the lens. Cataracts, then, can be classified according to location (nuclear, cortical, or posterior subcapular cataracts). The density and location of the cataract determines the amount of vision affected. If the cataract forms in the area of the lens directly behind the pupil, vision may be significantly impaired. A cataract that occurs on the outer edges or side of the lens will create less of a visual problem. Cataracts in the elderly are so common that they are thought to be a normal part of the aging process. Between the ages of 52 and 64, there is a 50% chance of having a cataract, while at least 70% of those 70 and older are affected. Cataracts associated with aging (senile or age-related cataracts) most often occur in both eyes, with each cataract progressing at a different rate. Initially, cataracts may not affect vision. If the cataract remains small or at the periphery of the lens, the visual changes may be minor.

A cataract is a cloudy or opaque area in the normally transparent lens of the eye. As the opacity thickens, it prevents light rays from passing through the lens and focusing on the retina, the light sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye. Early lens changes or opacities may not disturb vision. But as the lens continues to change, several specific symptoms including blurred vision; sensitivity to light and glare; increased nearsightedness; or distorted images in either eye, may develop.

Cataract Surgery About the Surgery The lens in your eye is normally transparent. When it becomes cloudy, you have a cataract . Cataract is the most common cause of vision loss in the elderly. Although cataracts are most often caused by the aging process, they can also result from disease or injury. Some babies are born with cataracts. Luckily, cataract surgery is safe and effective. Surgery is the only way your ophthalmologist can remove a cataract. However, if symptoms from a cataract are mild, a change of glasses may be all that is needed for you to function more comfortably. Cataract surgery should be considered when cataracts cause enough loss of vision to interfere with daily activities. You and your ophthalmologist should decide together when surgery is appropriate. In cataract surgery, the cloudy lens is removed from the eye. In most cases, the focusing power of the natural lens is restored by replacing it with a permanent intraocular lens implant. Cataracts cannot be removed with a laser. Preparing for Surgery Once you and your ophthalmologist have decided that you will have your cataract removed, a physical examination is necessary so that he or she may be alerted to any special medical risks. Ask your ophthalmologist if you should continue your usual medications. Your eye will be measured to determine the proper power of the intraocular lens that will be placed in your eye during surgery.

Cataract formations occur at different rates and can affect one or both eyes. A cataract is a progressive clouding of the eye's natural lens. It interferes with light passing through the eye to the retina. Aging and other factors cause proteins in the eye's lens to clump together forming these cloudy areas. Early changes may not disturb vision, but over time cataracts typically result in blurred or fuzzy vision and sensitivity to light.

Cataracts Cataract Fact Sheet from the SchepensEye Research Institute at Harvardt A cataract is a clouding of a part of the eye known as the crystalline lens. The lens is a clear tissue located behind the pupil - the dark circular opening in the middle of the iris or colored part of the eye. The lens works with the transparent cornea, which covers the eye's surface, to focus light on the retina at the back of the eye. When the lens becomes cloudy, or cataractous, light cannot pass to the retina properly, and vision is blurred and decreased. American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery ASCRS is an international educational and scientific organization whose 7,000 member ophthalmologists specialize in cataract and refractive surgery. ASCRS members are recognized leaders and innovators in ophthalmic surgery worldwide.

A very small "No Stitch" incision is made in the side of the cornea. Such an incision promotes fast and more comfortable recovery. 2. The bag of the lens is opened and a special ultrasonic probe (phacoemulsifier) removes the cloudy lens. 3. A small foldable artificial lens is inserted through the small incision to replace the cataract lens. 4. The final replacement lens is shown in place. It is not required to suture the small "No Stitch" incision. The Result Before cataract surgery, the lens is cloudy, causing images to be blurred and yellowed. Vision is hazy and colors are faded. After surgery, the new replacement lens (place cursor over image) provides a clear and focused image on the retina. Vision is clear. Place Cursor Over Image.
