The signs and symptoms of PCO are similar to that of a usual Cataract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The symptoms of Secondary Cataracts incluir<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n After your Cataract eye surgery<\/a>, the doctor will schedule follow-up appointments for six months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is done to keep a check on Secondary Cataracts.<\/p>\n\n\n Cataract surgery<\/a> is an outpatient procedure.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the surgery, the Cataract is removed by making an incision in the outer layer of the lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is done in a structure called a capsular bag holding the lens in place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ultrasound technology is then used to break and remove the cloudy lens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n After this, a new artificial intraocular lens is placed in the capsular bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In some cases, a few tiny cells that cannot be seen during the surgery remain attached<\/a> to the capsular bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These cells start growing across the capsular bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The growth of cells leads to a very thin film of scar tissues making the lens cloudy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This cloudy lens blocks light from reaching the retina at the back of the eye. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Hence, people who experience Secondary Cataract after the surgery suffer difficulties in clear vision.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is no surefire way to predict<\/a> whether the Cataract surgery will trigger a Secondary Cataract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some risk factors are associated with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Some of these include, <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, prevention is not possible, even if you know the risk factors of Secondary Cataracts. <\/p>\n\n\n There is only one<\/a> treatment for Secondary Cataracts- YAG laser capsulotomy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It is a simple outpatient procedure taking a few minutes to complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A laser capsulotomy creates an opening in the murky lens capsule for the light to pass through the posterior capsule. <\/p>\n\n\n\n During the procedure, an incision is made in the posterior capsule using an advanced YAG laser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The laser is applied to the eyes accurately and precisely to create a hole in the posterior capsule. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It penetrates the capsule’s center hole, allowing light to pass through to the retina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hence, allowing the retina to form a clear image and restoring the vision. <\/p>\n\n\n About an hour after the capsulotomy, the eye doctor will check the eye pressure<\/a> to ensure no apparent infection or risky inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They will then examine the posterior capsule to verify the procedure’s success without any side effects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There may be a minor blurring of vision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It is normal due to the eye effects which were administered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After the YAG laser capsulotomy, a Secondary Cataract will likely not happen<\/a> again.<\/p>\n\n\n Secondary Cataracts usually develop as a side effect of Cataract surgery<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n They can cause clear vision issues because of scar tissue development in the posterior capsule. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Doctors usually perform YAG laser treatment for treating Secondary Cataracts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are experiencing any symptoms, contact your doctor immediately. <\/p>\n\n\n The only treatment which can eradicate Secondary Cataracts is called YAG laser capsulotomy. It is a simple outpatient procedure that can be completed in a clinic quickly.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The symptoms of Secondary Cataracts include hazy vision, halos around light, and difficulties in seeing nearby and faraway objects.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The cells grow and clump with time, which may cloud the capsule and prevent light from reaching the retina. Thus they block light and result in hazy and cloudy vision.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n A Secondary Cataract occurs after the surgery for the primary Cataract. To learn more about Secondary Cataracts, read on. Secondary Cataract is a condition that occurs after Cataract surgery. Medically it is also known as Posterior Capsular Opacification (PCO). It is found that almost 20% of patients who have gone through cataract surgery will develop […]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":20865,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1410],"tags":[1416],"class_list":["post-20864","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-eye-care","tag-eyecare-types"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wowrxpharmacy.com\/es_co\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20864","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wowrxpharmacy.com\/es_co\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wowrxpharmacy.com\/es_co\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wowrxpharmacy.com\/es_co\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wowrxpharmacy.com\/es_co\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20864"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wowrxpharmacy.com\/es_co\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20864\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26184,"href":"https:\/\/wowrxpharmacy.com\/es_co\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20864\/revisions\/26184"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wowrxpharmacy.com\/es_co\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20865"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wowrxpharmacy.com\/es_co\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20864"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wowrxpharmacy.com\/es_co\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20864"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wowrxpharmacy.com\/es_co\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20864"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
