Patient's question:
My grandfather got cataracts two years ago, but they weren't very serious. After that, I went to study abroad, and my parents were also working outside. Later, we realized that my grandfather's condition had worsened—it was the cataracts in his right eye and chronic dacryocystitis, causing frequent tearing. Now, what should we pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
Now, first and foremost, it is important to administer the appropriate medication to the patient on time for treatment. Then, during the medication period, attention should be paid to the care of the patient's eyes to prevent excessive eye fatigue and ensure adequate rest for the eyes. When going outdoors, it is important to prevent direct sunlight from hitting the eyes. Additionally, attention should be paid to eye hygiene. In daily diet, it is advisable to consume more foods that are beneficial for the eyes. In case of necessity, it is essential to promptly seek follow-up treatment at an ophthalmology department.
