Myopia among adults

The lens of the eye is a biconvex lens located behind the iris and attached to the ciliary body by the so-called ciliary ligaments. It is a refractive medium and occupies a unique place in the optical system of the eye. For distance and near vision, it changes its convexity so that light rays fall into focus. It is located in its capsule, has no blood vessels, and is nourished by nutrients penetrating into it through the phenomenon of osmosis. From the age of 50-55, as the body's metabolism slows down and deteriorates, soluble proteins in the lens turn into insoluble proteins and settle in the lens substance. Then they gradually become thicker, causing blurred vision and its gradual decrease. Age-related cataracts /translated from Greek catarus- means waterfall/, which gradually deepens. We distinguish 4 stages of cataract development: •beginning •immature •mature •overmature Since we receive 90% of information from the surrounding world through the visual organ, therefore, due to its dysfunction, the quality of a person's life decreases significantly. Cataract treatment is surgical, although in the initial stage, the combined long-term use of vitamins, antioxidants and local nourishing drops can reduce the intensity of its growth and slow down its progression. Many people believe that vision must completely deteriorate before they can undergo surgery. Previously, cataract cryoextraction/surgery using ice was performed. This surgery required a mature state of cataract. With the development of ophthalmology, this method is no longer used in modern conditions. Now cataract phacoemulsification is performed. This type of surgery is more advanced, there are no stitches is placed and is a wonderful option to avoid postoperative astigmatism. There is a widespread misconception among the people that it is a laser procedure, but no laser is used here.
