Myopia is easy for young people to be alert when the degree of cataract is deepened.
More and more geriatric diseases have been labeled as "young", and cataracts are no exception. According to Taiwan's "Free Times" reported on November 15, in recent years, the number of cataract patients in their 40s and 50s has increased significantly, and five of them are caused by high myopia (more than 600 degrees of myopia).
According to the survey data, Yan Renyuan, director of the Key Laboratory of Myopia for the Ministry of Health and Professor of Ophthalmology at Fudan University, expressed surprise that “there are many causes of cataracts, and the original statistics may be less than 10% due to high myopia.†Caused by high myopia Cataract is called nuclear cataract, and its turbidity mainly occurs in the nucleus of the lens. As the disease progresses, the color of the nucleus gradually changes from yellowish brown to brown and dark brown. Yan Renyuan told reporters that modern people accept a lot of information in their work and study, and 82% of them need to use the eyes as a medium. "In this way, the more the eyes are used, the more the eyeball develops, the greater the possibility of myopia, and the higher the chance of causing more serious eye diseases." According to Professor Zhao Jialiang, chairman of the Chinese Medical Association Ophthalmology Branch, in our country, About half of the blind people are caused by cataracts.
Despite this, the concept of “getting cataracts when you are old†still leaves quite a few young people without timely medical treatment. According to a survey released by the University of Hong Kong's Public Opinion Research Program, 38% of respondents had presbyopia, cataract and other visual problems at 36-45 years old, but 63% of the respondents did not seek treatment. A considerable number of people even thought this Very normal.
Yan Renyuan pointed out that cataracts must be discovered early and treated early. For those who are already highly myopic, pay special attention. First, avoid too much UV radiation. Second, eat more carrots. Again, the optometry must be accurate. Finally, do the right amount of physical exercise. In addition, myopia is generally stable around the age of 20. If you find that your glasses are suddenly deepened by the age of forty or fifty, it is likely to be a manifestation of cataracts and you must seek medical attention as soon as possible. —— Medio Medical Network
