Our team is experienced and trained to perform the most technologically advanced medical and surgical eye procedures, 包括白内障摘除和人工晶状体植入. 白内障手术 is usually performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis and is one of the most successful procedures in all of medicine.
什么是白内障?
白内障是人体天然晶状体混浊. The lens is the part of your eye that focuses light onto the retina to produce clear images. 它主要由蛋白质组成. If the protein in one's human lens denatures over time, it becomes cloudy and is called a "cataract."
使蛋白质变性的一个例子是“硬煮”鸡蛋. As the clear liquid (protein) of the egg is heated it denatures and becomes a white solid.
The human lens protein within the eye gradually denatures over years and first gets less flexible. By the age of 40 or so the lens is no longer able to flex to completely focus images for near, 所以我们开始戴老花镜来近距离观察. 然而，在这个年龄，晶状体通常仍然是清晰的.
白内障何时发生?
白内障是衰老过程中正常的一部分, 早在50岁时就可以发现早期症状. It has been said that if everyone lived to age 200 we all would need cataract removal. 有些人比其他人更早得白内障. 大多数白内障进展缓慢, and are not visually significant; until approximately age 65 or older. 白内障与某些全身性疾病(如糖尿病)一起会更快发生, 或者某些职业, 就像玻璃吹风机需要整天在紫外线下工作一样.
When cataracts get more advanced they start to decrease the light's ability to pass efficiently through the lens, 导致视觉清晰度下降的. 它们通常形成缓慢，不伴有疼痛、红肿或撕裂.
我什么时候该担心?
然而，白内障在妨碍视力之前并不严重. 如果白内障变大或变密, 它通常可以通过手术切除, but some stay small and don't change one's eyesight much in the course of a lifetime.
While cataracts result in diminished acuity because of the opacification of the lens, 它们不影响视野, but these people have more difficulty seeing in poorly lit environments due to a decrease in contrast sensitivity. Many people with cataracts experience increased sensitivity to light and glare. Reading material appears faded or hazy and is more difficult to read in dim lighting. 病人 sometimes also notice halos around streetlights or headlights at night. 人们经常提到对强光的整体敏感性, 尤其是在晚上, 比如汽车或人行道上金属反射的光, 或者荧光灯顶灯. Colors appear faded or washed out and a change in the patient's eyeglass prescription may not improve visual clarity. 在白天, 白内障患者可能会注意到他们对光线更敏感, 但太阳镜似乎只会降低视力.
白内障手术
白内障手术通常是非常安全的, 成功率高吗, 也是美国最常见的手术之一.S. 据估计，95%的患者术后视力得到改善, 前提是没有其他眼部疾病. 大约5%的手术病例会导致轻微并发症.
白内障手术期间, 外科医生取出浑浊的自然晶状体, 在大多数情况下, 用透明的硅胶或丙烯酸镜片代替. This implant is actually a very small prescription lens placed inside the eye that will improve the quality of distance vision for most patients, 尽管老花镜几乎总是需要的.

你可能会看到一些东西在你的视野中漂浮或闪烁, 但你看到的可能是漂浮在你眼睛里的物质. 在大多数情况下，这种情况与其说是有害的，不如说是麻烦的. 在某些情况下, the sudden appearance of floaters or flashes may indicate a more serious eye condition.
飞蚊症 (或“斑点”)是漂浮在玻璃体内部的小块物质, 充满眼睛内部的液体. 飞蚊症 are usually related to the normal aging process that can begin in your mid 40’s. They can appear to be small specks or strands of fiber that move slowly across your field of vision.
闪光 以条纹、流星或虚假的光的形式出现. Most adults after the age of 50 will experience flashes as part of the normal aging process when the vitreous thickens and rubs against the light-sensitive retina. 就像漂浮者一样, flashes should be checked by an eyecare provider to ensure they are not the early sign of a more serious problem.
干眼 refers to a condition of the eye where either too few tears are produced, 或者眼泪从眼睛里流得太快. 症状可能包括眼睛发痒, 坚韧不拔的, red and dry; eyelids that stick together upon awakening; difficulty wearing contact lenses; hay fever or sinus problems, 以及反复感染.

青光眼是主要的可预防的致盲原因. 及早发现这种情况是很重要的，为什么呢 35岁及以上的成年人应该每年看一次眼科医生.

Treatment includes eye drops and tablets to control fluid pressure within the eye, 青光眼的病因. 这种压力会导致视神经受到挤压, 导致周边视力丧失，最终失明.
再一次, this condition usually shows no symptoms in its early stages and can be detected during routine eye examinations. 黄斑变性 occurs within the macula, located in the central area of the retina. 这个区域主要负责你的直视和色觉.
因为液体将视网膜层分开, 黄斑中的视觉细胞被推离其正常方向. 结果给人一种透过有缺陷的玻璃看东西的感觉.
对于最常见的黄斑变性，目前还没有已知的治疗方法, 虽然激光可以用来修复黄斑的薄弱区域. 低视力艾滋病, 比如眼镜, 放大镜, specially-designed lamps and large-print books and magazines help sufferers to lead a relatively normal life of vision.
