Looking into considerations for cataract surgery in Gangnam.

Hello.

I am Kim Joong-hoon, Head Director of Gangnam ID Eye Clinic.

I'd like to greet you.

More and more people are visiting ophthalmologists due to blurred vision or frequent eye fatigue.

Many people think these symptoms are simply presbyopia that comes with age,

but in reality, cataracts are often the cause.

The eyes are among the body parts most quickly affected by aging. Due to the aging population and increased use of digital devices,

the age range for experiencing presbyopia and cataracts is getting younger.

Presbyopia and cataracts have similar symptoms, making them difficult to distinguish, but the causes and treatments are completely different.

Therefore, it's best to distinguish between the two diseases through accurate examination and improve them through the correct method so as not to miss the appropriate treatment time.

Therefore, the content we will cover this time is information on Gangnam cataract surgery. We will take the time to learn and check everything from the process to the pros and cons, and causes.

“What is the difference between presbyopia and cataracts?”

Presbyopia is a physiological change in which the elasticity of the lens decreases, making it difficult to focus on nearby objects.

It usually progresses gradually after the age of 40, but cataracts are an eye disease that occurs when the lens becomes cloudy and light cannot pass through properly.

In severe cases, it can cause serious vision loss.

Symptoms of presbyopia include taking time to switch focus from nearby objects to distant objects,

or seeing blurry. Often, you have to hold your phone more than a certain distance away to see it clearly.

As the eye's focusing function deteriorates, it can affect overall life.

If cataracts occur along with presbyopia, vision becomes cloudy and objects may appear double or blurred.

In this case, simply changing glasses or reading glasses is not enough to fundamentally improve the condition,

so it is best to consider presbyopia and cataract surgery.

“What are the causes of cataracts?”

Although aging is the biggest cause of cataracts,

it can also occur from birth due to congenital metabolic disorders or genetic factors.

Diabetes, trauma, excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays, and excessive use of steroid medications can also be causes.

In addition, it can occur secondarily in association with other ophthalmic diseases such as uveitis and retinitis pigmentosa,

so you can't be too careless just because you are young.

Recently, as the use of mobile phones and computers has increased, eye fatigue has increased, and exposure to ultraviolet rays has increased,

the age of onset is also tending to decrease.

As a result, more and more people are being diagnosed with cataracts at a younger age than before.

As the symptoms progress, it becomes difficult to correct vision with glasses or lenses, so Gangnam cataract surgery is necessary for fundamental improvement.

“Let’s find out about the cataract surgery process.”

It is difficult to detect cataracts in the early stages because there are no special symptoms or they progress very slowly.

If you recognize cataracts in the early stages, you can slow down their progression with medication, but if the lens is already cloudy,

it cannot be returned to normal, so surgery is unavoidable if your vision becomes so blurry that you feel discomfort in your daily life.

Cataract surgery that can be performed at this time involves removing the cloudy lens and inserting an artificial lens.

It has the advantage of being virtually painless, having little light scattering, adapting quickly, and allowing for a quick return to daily life.

"Choosing the right artificial lens for you"

When undergoing Gangnam cataract surgery, it is important to choose an artificial lens.

It can be broadly divided into monofocal lenses and multifocal lenses.

In the past, monofocal lenses were mainly used, so only one of far or near vision could be improved,

but recently, multifocal lenses have developed, allowing you to see both far and near clearly, improving the quality of your vision.

Monofocal lenses focus on only one distance, either far or near, so you may still need reading glasses or farsighted glasses even after cataract surgery.

Multifocal lenses can improve both cataracts and presbyopia at the same time, so they are highly satisfactory for middle-aged and elderly people.

As they are lenses designed to focus on all distances, far, intermediate, and near, they improve blurred vision and solve the discomfort caused by presbyopia,

thereby greatly reducing dependence on glasses.

However, multifocal lenses are not the best choice for everyone. It is essential to comprehensively consider individual occupation,

lifestyle, eye condition, and astigmatism to choose the most suitable lens to increase satisfaction afterwards.

“What are the precautions for cataract surgery?”

It is also important to determine the timing of cataract surgery. Because it progresses slowly,

surgery is often postponed if symptoms are not severe, but if the lens becomes excessively cloudy, the difficulty increases,

and the burden on the eye tissue can increase. Cataracts can lead to blindness if left untreated, so caution is required.

If your vision becomes blurry or you experience severe glare at night, it is best to get an eye exam and decide on the timing of surgery before it is too late.

In addition, regular follow-up observation is essential after cataract surgery. Medication instillation to prevent inflammation and vision recovery management are required for a certain period of time.

Temporary symptoms such as dry eye or glare can usually improve over time.

Cataracts can occur naturally as part of the aging process, but early diagnosis can slow down vision loss and reduce discomfort in daily life.

If you notice changes such as blurred vision or increased glare, we hope you will get an eye exam for an accurate diagnosis.

"Check the overall details before Gangnam cataract surgery"

Cataracts are a natural change due to aging, but precise examination and correct lens selection can be key factors in determining the quality of vision.

Therefore, it is most desirable to carefully analyze the individual's eye condition and create a customized plan accordingly.

The goal of Gangnam cataract surgery is to restore vision and help you return to your daily life comfortably.

For successful results, it is important to conduct a thorough eye examination, check the procedure and type of lens,

and check whether there are medical staff with accurate judgment and skilled techniques.

Additionally, if you check whether detailed and systematic post-operative care is provided after cataract surgery and proceed with it,

you can expect more satisfactory results.

Also, after the age of 40, it is wise to develop and maintain a habit of checking your eye condition through regular eye exams, even if you have no special symptoms.
