Natural Lens Replacement Surgery Can Correct Near Vision Loss
If you have ever experienced declining vision or worse, total vision loss due to cataracts then you know what a bearing this has on a person’s quality of life. How do I personally know? I wore glasses since age 12 years, and was diagnosed with medication induced cataracts at age 55. This procedure gave me 20/20 vision and I was able to throw my glasses away. I do have to wear weak reading glasses, sometimes, if I feel I need them.
A Natural Lens Replacement Surgery Can Replace Vision Loss in those who have developed cateracts due to the aging process or by other means such as long-term use of certain medications. This procedure takes about 10-15 minutes, is comfortable and pain free. The eye surgeon will replace your lens with an intraocular lens. Even the squeamish at heart (like I was) will find this procedure a breeze.
Your surgeon will supply you with all the details for what kind of cataract you have, what procedure will be specific to your needs, what kind of lens will be used and what risk factors will be present. And, the fact that one must give their brain, time to adjust to the new visual sharpness with images and colors.
If cataract formation is not corrected it will lead to blindness and loss of quality of life. To me this 15 minutes is worth it to have perfect or nearly perfect vision.The hits keep comin’: Common Myths about Cataracts & Cataract Surgery
