Summaries for Cataract

About this section
PubMed Health : 63 About cataracts: A cataract is an eye condition in which the lens of the eye becomes cloudy. This causes vision to worsen, making it especially difficult to see fine details clearly. Some people’s vision is only slightly affected, whereas others might lose their eyesight very quickly. How it progresses will depend on things like the exact type of cataract. The word “cataract” comes from the Greek word for “waterfall” because in the past it was believed that the blurring was caused by a fluid in the eye.Cataracts mostly affect people over 50, and the risk increases with age: About 20 out of 100 people between the ages of 65 and 74 have a cataract. And more than 50 out of 100 people over the age of 74 are affected.Cataracts are the main cause of blindness in developing countries. The number of people who go blind from cataracts is considerably lower in industrialized countries due to the availability of effective surgery. Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy eye lens and replacing it with an artificial lens. It is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in Germany, where about 800,000 people have cataract surgery every year.

MalaCards based summary : Cataract, also known as cataracts, is related to cataract 30, multiple types and cataract 16, multiple types. An important gene associated with Cataract is IARS2 (Isoleucyl-TRNA Synthetase 2, Mitochondrial), and among its related pathways/superpathways is Protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum. The drugs Gabapentin and gamma-Aminobutyric acid have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include Eye, eye and endothelial, and related phenotype is vision/eye.

MedlinePlus : 43 A cataract is a clouding of the lens in your eye. It affects your vision. Cataracts are very common in older people. By age 80, more than half of all Americans either have a cataract or have had cataract surgery. A cataract can occur in either or both eyes. It cannot spread from one eye to the other. Common symptoms are Blurry vision Colors that seem faded Glare - headlights, lamps or sunlight may seem too bright. You may also see a halo around lights. Not being able to see well at night Double vision Frequent prescription changes in your eye wear Cataracts usually develop slowly. New glasses, brighter lighting, anti-glare sunglasses or magnifying lenses can help at first. Surgery is also an option. It involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with an artificial lens. Wearing sunglasses and a hat with a brim to block ultraviolet sunlight may help to delay cataracts. NIH: National Eye Institute

Disease Ontology : 12 A lens disease characterized by clouding of the lens inside the eye which leads to a decrease in vision.

About this section

PubMedHealth treatment related to Cataract: 63

Some people can compensate for the vision loss, temporarily or even in the longer term, by wearing glasses or contact lenses. There are no medications for the treatment of cataracts.The only effective treatment is surgery. Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with a new, artificial lens. The lens capsule – an elastic membrane surrounding the lens of the eye – is left in the eye during surgery. Only the inner core and the outer cortex of the lens are broken up into small pieces using ultrasound. The pieces are then sucked out of the eye through a small cut. This procedure, called phacoemulsification, is the standard technique in Germany and some other countries. Once the lens has been removed, an artificial lens is implanted into the lens capsule.Whether and when surgery is an appropriate treatment option is very much a personal decision. The extent to which vision loss is affecting someone’s life will play a very important role. Another factor to consider is the presence of other (eye) conditions, which could affect the outcome of cataract surgery.
