For individuals aged 45-50 who prefer not to wear distant and near glasses and have not developed cataracts, multifocal intraocular lenses, which provide lifelong permanence, have replaced Refractive Laser Eye Surgery in this age group in recent years. And it's a fact that with the increasing popularity and demand, questions have arisen about whether Smart Lenses are suitable for everyone.

Certainly, there is also a increased demand from individuals undergoing cataract surgery for Smart Lenses, who have no other eye problems.

These Multifocal Lenses, also known as Smart Lenses or Premium Lenses, offer both distant and near vision without glasses, making them an attractive treatment option.

Cataract is an eye condition that occurs when the lens of the eye loses its transparency.

The lens in our eyes enables the refraction and focusing of light. The initial symptom in patients with cataracts, is blurry vision and loss of clarity.

The most common cause of cataract disease, often described in society as "a curtain falling over the eye", is aging of the eye.

Other causes of cataracts include:

COMPUTER EYE SYNDROME

With the almost indispensable use of digital screens from age 7 to 70, and even increasing usage in those under 7, health problems related to the use of such screens have begun to rise.

According to experts; numbness in the fingers can lead to long-term issues like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, from neck and back pain muscle and joint problems will arise.

However, individuals who heavily use digital screens in their daily lives often complain most about eye-related issues. Therefore, problems related to intensive Digital Screen use have entered the literature as "Digital Eye Fatigue Syndrome" or "Computer Vision Syndrome."

ARTIFICIAL BLUE LIGHT AND CIRCADIAN RHYTHM

I would like to share an article about the effects and reasons for the exposure of our eyes and body to blue light on digital screens.

We've become wary of blue light, but we need natural blue light for our well-being. Natural blue light comes from the sun and the blue sky. With the advancement of technology, artificial blue light emitted by LED screens such as computers, smartphones, tablets, and televisions has become a part of our lives. So, how does artificial blue light, unlike the necessary natural blue light for our lives, harm us?

Common Challenges Faced by People Who Wear Glasses:

Struggling with Glasses Selection and Adaptation: It can be challenging to choose the right frame and lenses when buying glasses. Finding a frame that suits the shape of your face, eye color, and personal preferences can take time. Additionally, adapting to the new glasses can be difficult for some individuals.

Glasses Cleaning and Maintenance: It's necessary to regularly clean and maintain glasses. The lenses of glasses can easily get smudged, which is affecting vision. Also, regular maintenance of frame and hinges is important.

COMPUTER SCREENS: THE EFFECT OF EYE BLINKING AND DRY EYES

While we normally blink our eyes 12-16 times per minute, we only blink 6-8 times when looking at a screen.

In addition, the use of digital screens not only disrupts the amplitude and quality of blinking but also impairs tear quality, leading to dry eyes.

The use of screen filters prevents the decrease in blink frequency and reduces glare and reflections.

Dry eye, which may develop due to reduced blinking frequency, can be prevented by using moisturizing eye drops in addition to screen filters.

Cataract plays a crucial role in focusing light onto the retina at the back of the eye. When the lens becomes cloudy, it can lead to blurred or hazy vision, decreased contrast sensitivity, and difficulty seeing in low light conditions.

Everything you need to know about amblyopia

In the intricate dance of vision, a condition known as amblyopia, or "lazy eye", can disrupt the harmony between the eyes, affecting visual acuity and depth perception. This blog aims to unravel the mysteries of amblyopia, shedding light on its development and exploring strategies for visual rehabilitation to awaken the potential of the so-called "lazy eye".
