35-year-old welder suffers from cataracts after not wearing protective glasses
2022/07/11
In the eyes of many people, cataract is the "patent" of the elderly, but Xiao Wang from Jiangxi was only 35 years old this year, but was diagnosed with cataract. The ophthalmologist said it had a lot to do with his occupation. Xiao Wang has been following his uncle in the electric welding business in Quanzhou for the past few years. Some time ago, there was a big project in the store. Xiao Wang worked more than 12 hours a day for more than half a month. Because of the need for precise operations, he sometimes simply removed the protective glasses and worked with the naked eye. The project was completed, but Xiao Wang found that his eyesight had deteriorated seriously, and he could see things blurry. Xiao Wang went to the pharmacy to buy some eye drops, but after more than half a month, there was no improvement at all. Seeing that his vision was getting worse and worse, Xiao Wang went to Xiamen Ophthalmology Department for treatment. Director Chen Wei's examination found that Xiao Wang's eyes were cloudy, and he was diagnosed with cataract. Chen Wei explained that electric welding is a short-wavelength ultraviolet light. Long-term direct vision with the naked eye will affect the cornea and crystal, and cataract formation. The function of protective goggles is to filter out ultraviolet light and effectively reduce the damage of electric welding to the eyes. Because the lens opacity caused by cataract is generally irreversible, there is currently no special drug to cure cataract. Some drugs on the market basically have no therapeutic effect, and the treatment method is surgery. Recently, he successfully completed cataract surgery at the Cataract Specialist of Xiamen Eye Center. Postoperative visual acuity was 1.0 in both eyes. The originally blurred world became clear again, and Xiao Wang was very happy. >>Links High incidence of cataracts in southern Fujian due to strong ultraviolet radiation Research shows that those who have lived in sunny areas for more than 30 years and those who are often exposed to strong light in their work and life have a much higher proportion of cataracts than other groups. According to Chen Wei, southern Fujian is located in the coastal area and has a subtropical climate, with strong ultraviolet radiation throughout the year and a high incidence of cataracts. The Xiamen Cataract Department of Ophthalmology has seen many fishermen in their 40s. They worked under the scorching sun for a long time and suffered from cataracts to varying degrees. Chen Wei reminds: People who work in the sun and strong light for a long time should wear better quality sunglasses and sun hats to reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays to the eyes; usually eat more fruits and vegetables with high vitamin content, such as apples and oranges , spinach, spinach, etc. Once symptoms such as vision loss, glare, and overlapping vision occur, you should go to an ophthalmologist in time
