Eye myopia is as high as 2400 degrees! Doesn't that sound scary already? House leaks in the overnight rain, high myopia and cataracts at the same time, under such a double influence, can the eyes be cured?
Mr. Cai of Jianli, Hubei Province, is 46 years old this year, and his eyesight has not been good since he was a child. Because wearing glasses will produce a feeling of vertigo, Mr. Cai can only grope for things, and life and work are very inconvenient.
In the past year, he felt that his vision had become more blurred, and gradually, only a shaking shadow remained in front of him.
Mr. Cai: I can't see the familiar person after the distance, sometimes I don't say hello, and others think I don't want to ignore him. There have been some misunderstandings.
In desperation, Mr. Cai could only be transferred to Wuhan for treatment, and through examination, the doctor found that he suffered from high myopia and superimposed cataracts.
Xie Jiao, deputy chief physician of cataracts at Wuhan Puri Eye Hospital: The refraction results of his right eye are myopia of 2400 degrees, and the left eye has myopia of more than 2000 degrees. The vision of the right eye can only see the index, that is, the finger is dangling in front of the eye, and he can see it.
For the average patient with myopia and cataracts, the implantation of a multifocal crystal can improve vision. But Mr. Cai's high myopia of 2400 degrees made the doctor a little embarrassed. The largest number of intraocular lenses still cannot meet Mr. Cai's treatment needs.
Zhang Xiaonong, president of Wuhan Puri Eye Hospital: We generally do cataract replacement intraocular lenses, most of which are replaced by a lens, but we are now like super high myopia, more than 2,000 degrees or even more than 3,000 degrees, this piece of crystal can no longer be corrected.
In response to this situation, experts have come up with a way to superimpose two lenses into the patient's eye. But this approach is simple to say, but not easy to implement.
Zhang Xiaonong, president of Wuhan Puri Eye Hospital: The degree of two crystals should be calculated very accurately, one crystal should be placed in the crystal sac, and the other crystal should be tightly stacked on top, and there can be no gap in it, if there is a gap, it will grow into a posterior cataract.
In the end, through the efforts of the expert team, Mr. Cai was successfully implanted with two intraocular lenses in his right eye, and his naked eye vision has now returned to 0.5 hyperopia and 0.6 myopia.
Experts remind that the occurrence of cataracts is related to environmental, nutritional, metabolic and genetic factors, and the risk of cataracts with high myopia is 3 to 5 times that of ordinary people, so patients with high myopia should not only pay close attention to their eye refractive changes, but also regularly do eye disease screening so that problems can be treated in time.
