Cataract - problem of the eyes

Assalamualaikum dear Mdm.Rose and my classmates. Good day everyone!

Today I would like to share something that is beneficial to our health especially to those who are having problems with her or his sight. Sight is one of our senses that comes from our eyes. If we have problems with our eyes, we can't see very properly - like me. ^.^

Before introducing you to the technology that I just found, let's talk about health first. now, do anyone knows about Cataract??

What is Cataract?
     
      ~ Cataract is the clouding of the lens of the eyes. the lens of our eyes are usually normal, except for those who have sight problems. As we know, the lens of our eyes are like those lens in a camera. What I meant by this is that the lens focuses light as it passes to the back of the eyes. Here is a picture so that you can a grip a better understanding.

The shape of our lenses are able to change until we reached the age of around 45 years old. This is to allow the lens to focus on an object, whether the object is close or far away. Cataract are caused by some problems such as follows ; 

• Diabetes
• Eye inflammation
• Eye injury
• Family history of cataracts]
• Long terms use of corticosteroids ( taken by mouth ) or other certain medicine
• Radiation exposure
• Smoking
• Surgery for another eye problems
• Too much exposure of sunlight.

Cataracts can be cured through surgery and other initiatives, but you have to remember, cataracts are not fully cured. My uncle faced cataract problems since a few last year. He did a surgery but he really need to protect his eyes from sunlight. During the day, he had to wear sunglasses so that the sunlight do not hurt his eyes. And during the night, he will always wear spectacles because he can't see very well. If lights hit his eyes during the night, we could see that his eyes are sparkling like those eyes that belong to the cats.

Okay, now I would like to introduce a technology that I found from a website that can help us from having cataract problems. This website introduces high technology implant lens to help improves our sight. There are five types of lenses that are introduced which are ;

1. ReZoom                      
2. AcrySof ReStor
3. Crystalens
4. TECNIS multifocal
5. AcrySof Toric
