Cataract Secondary

Cataract is a disease that causes clouding of the lens of the eye. Secondary cataracts are one of the most common forms of cataracts and are characterized by the accumulation of protein crystals on the back surface of the lens.

Secondary cataracts can be caused by various factors, such as age, eye trauma, exposure to ultraviolet rays, and certain medications. It can lead to decreased vision and a deterioration in quality of life.

One treatment for secondary cataracts is surgical removal of protein crystals using a laser or ultrasound. Drops can also be used to dissolve protein crystals.

However, if secondary cataracts are not treated, they can lead to complete loss of vision. Therefore, it is important to promptly consult an ophthalmologist for diagnosis and treatment of secondary cataracts.

A cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye. This condition is very common in old age, as the lens loses its ability to change its refractive power with age, becomes opaque, thickens and, sometimes, becomes cloudy. During the development of the process, rainbow circles appear around the light spots in the eye. The disease can develop on one side or simultaneously on both. There are also cases of cataracts of the entire spectrum - from peripheral to central. The causes of the disease may be a lack of vitamins and microelements, or eye injuries. The progression of cataracts is stopped by conservative treatment.
