Patient's question:
Doctor: ! My mom is 63 years old this year. She accidentally let the baby touch her eye once while taking care of the child. It caused her eyelid and half of her face to swell. It's been a month now! Recently, her face hasn't swelled, but her upper eyelid has been swollen. Urine tests and blood sugar tests are normal. Her vision hasn't been affected! A thorough examination revealed cataracts. Is it possible that the cataracts caused the eyelid swelling? How should it be treated now? Thank you, Doctor!Doctor's answer:
This external injury generally brings about bad consequences, though the specific situation is unclear. However, it is certain that cataracts will not cause eyelid swelling. Cataracts are a clouding of the inner lens, which is part of the aging process, and they will not lead to eye swelling. Instead, they will gradually cause blurred vision.That’s all the information regarding whether cataracts can cause eyelid swelling. We hope patients can soon overcome their illness and stay healthy every day~
