Patient's question:
My brother is 38 years old this year and works as a factory worker. Recently, he suffered a minor injury at work, but a few days later, he noticed that his eyes were becoming increasingly uncomfortable and his vision was becoming blurry. Some people said this was due to cataracts caused by the injury. Doctor, what should I do about eye trauma and cataracts?Doctor's answer:
Cataracts caused by trauma can be treated with surgery, which involves replacing the cloudy lens with a semi-transparent artificial lens, thereby improving vision. It is recommended that you take your brother to the ophthalmology department for a follow-up examination to determine if surgery is necessary. Pay attention to taking care of yourself, and seek medical attention promptly after an injury. Do not delay seeking treatment. After cataract surgery, a light diet should be followed, and strenuous exercise should be avoided. Maintain a healthy lifestyle and ensure a nutritious diet.
