Recently, Lin Qingxia wrote an article called "My Right Eyeball", in which she revealed that she injured her right eye when filming in the early years, and recently, when playing badminton with friends, her right eye was accidentally hit by the ball again, but she was "blessed by misfortune" to find out cataracts and underwent surgery, and is currently recovering well. Many people lament that the "immortal goddess" has also reached the age of doing cataract surgery, but also pay attention to cataracts, the world's first major blind eye disease.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="17" >What is cataract? </h1>
There is a tissue in the structure of the human eyeball called the "lens", which is an important part of the refractive system of the eyeball. Just like the lens in a camera, it has a refractive effect on light.
It achieves zoom through the contraction and relaxation of the ciliary muscle, so that the focus of the eyeball's spotlight can accurately fall on the retina, so that we can see things clearly and brightly.
In order to let the light pass through, the lens lens is clear and transparent, when due to human aging and other reasons the lens may become cloudy and opaque, but also thicken and hard, can not adjust the focal length normally, the patient will appear blurred vision and other symptoms, this turbid lens is what we often call cataract.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="58" how to treat cataracts >? </h1>
Surgery is the most effective treatment, which is to directly remove the turbid lens and replace it with a new one.
The surgical method is to insert a very fine ultrasound needle into the eye through a small incision of a few millimeters, and use the principle of ultrasonic vibration to crush the cloudy lens and suck it out. Implant another intraocular lens and let the intact and transparent intraocular lens continue to work in the eye instead of the original lens.

Myopia surgery has no effect on inducing cataracts
The basic principle of laser myopia surgery is to use the laser to remove a part of the corneal tissue, adjust the corneal diopter, and let the image fall accurately on the retina again.
That is to say, laser myopia surgery is performed on the cornea, which belongs to the most superficial layer of the eyeball, and the operation will not touch the internal tissue and structure of the eyeball, nor will it cause any impact on other eyeball parts.
Cataract refers to the opacification of the lens of the eye, which is caused by the natural aging of the human body, and the part of the laser myopia surgery is on the surface of the cornea (the lens cannot be touched), and the two are not in the same part at all.
So in simple terms, whether you have myopia surgery or not, it will not increase or decrease your probability of getting cataracts, myopia surgery is only to correct your myopia, and will not prevent or induce other eye diseases.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="60" > have had myopia surgery, can I still have cataract surgery? </h1>
Laser myopia surgery generally does not affect other ophthalmic surgeries, it is only operated on the cornea, does not involve other parts of the eye, and does not change the structure of the eyeball.
Cataract refers to the opacification of the lens of the eyeball leading to a decrease in vision, the site of cataract surgery is the lens, so after doing laser myopia surgery, it will not affect the future cataract surgery.
