What is Aphakia?
Aphakia is a health condition characterized by the absence of an eye lens. The lens, a pure structure located under the iris, is used for refractive and focus of light to hit the retina. Without a lens, someone develops vision problems. Several techniques can be used to remedy Afakia, and correction is particularly important in children, as their brains still lay paths that mediate visual information, and the interruption of vision can lead to long -term visual damage. The lens can also be removed or seriously damaged due to infection, ulceration or trauma. Surgeons may decide to deliberately remove conditions, such as cataracts in which the lens is covered, making it difficult to see. Also, Suztrate's accommodation, which means that their eyes have difficulty in adjusting and focus to respond to distance changes. Accommodation tends to decline overall with age, but it may be a big problem for people with Aphakia. As a result, people usually decide to treat the condition.
Some people can receive lens implants to correct or correct the problem. In the case of partial correction, the ophthalmologist may perform an eye examination to determine the next level of the necessary correction and write a prescription for glasses or contacts. Correctional lenses do not necessarily have to wear someone with an implant and are most often needed for reading and details about details.
Correctional lenses can also be worn without implant. Goggles or contacts can be used, although contacts are often recommended because they cause visual distortion than glasses. For this reason, children may prefer contacts. Regular eye tests are also usually recommended to ensure that visual correction is suitable and no further problems develop.
individuals who have Afakia also experience increased sensitivity to light, especially black light. For this reason it can help wear sunglasses and other OCWriting eye wear in bright light and prevent extremely clear or black conditions. The inability to observe the measures in a clear environment could lead to permanent damage to the retina, which will cover even more vision.
