Senile Lens Nucleus

The senile lens nucleus, or senile lens, occurs in older people (60 years and above) and is the result of natural aging of the body or a pathological process that causes dysfunction of the protein components of the eye. In this case, the problem does not disappear with the use of drug treatment, and surgical replacement of the eye lens is required.

With the senile type of the lens nucleus, there is a partial loss of its functionality. In order to restore the vision of a person with such a defect in the lens, it is necessary to replace it with an artificial polymer analogue. Complications of this kind usually cannot be solved with glasses or simple methods of correcting visual defects alone, but require surgical intervention. The choice of the optimal method for replacing the lens of the eye should be made by an ophthalmologist after a thorough analysis of the clinical picture of the disease. The core of the lens is an optical element located inside the eyeball and consists of approximately 97% water. This is not a uniform formation, which has the shape of a biconvex lens
