Eye News you Can Use
Welcome to our monthly edition of “Eye News You Can Use”, featuring the latest in eye care and ocular health.
There is an old adage that if you live long enough you will get cataracts.
In my eight years of experience in Las Vegas, I find that to be true. Patients describe it as a film over their eyes but in fact it is a normal age change in the lens of the human eye. The lens in the human eye is like that of a camera, to focus light. It is made of protein and adds a layer of protein every year which tends to make vision cloudier.
This change is very gradual, so most patients do not notice the slow degradation in their vision, loss of color vision and increased glare issues, like halos around headlights and starbursts around street lamps.
Fortunately, cataracts are easily detected by your eye doctor during your yearly eye exam.
If you should require surgery, rest assured that cataract surgery is the most commonly performed surgery in the United States today…because it works!
It typically takes 20 minutes per eye and is painfree with excellent vision results.
Recent advancements in the intraocular lens that replaces the human lens provide more choices than ever. Most of these new intraocular lenses cost more out of pocket, as insurance only covers the older technology lenses, that aid distance vision only.
Here is a preview…
‘ReZoom’ is the first in the new generation of intraocular lenses that offer patients the ability to not only see in the distance but be able to see computer without reading glasses.
‘ReStor’ enhances far vision and reading up close.
‘CrystalLens’ most closely simulates the human lens natural focusing capabilities.
Advanced Medical Optics lens corrects for astigmatism.
Each one has it unique benefits, costs and variables, so make sure to check with your eye doctor to determine which is in your best interest.
Despite all this good news, cataracts remain, to this day, the leading cause of blindness throughout the world. Unfortunately, most people do not have access to the technology nor skills of our eye surgeons here in the USA.
