Regular eye exams remain the key to early detection. If you’re over age 65, schedule eye exams at least every other year. Although most cataracts occur with age and can’t be avoided altogether, you can take steps to help slow or possibly prevent the development of cataracts:

  1. Don’t smoke. Smoking produces free radicals, increasing your risk of cataracts.
  2. Eat a balanced diet. Include plenty of fruits and vegetables in your diet. Eating lots of fruits and vegetables may have a modest effect in preventing cataract development, though this hasn’t been definitively proved.
  3. Protect yourself from the sun. Ultraviolet light may contribute to the development of cataracts. Whenever possible, wear sunglasses that block ultraviolet B (UVB) rays when you’re outdoors.
  4. Take care of other health problems. Follow your treatment plan if you have diabetes or other medical conditions. If you have a chronic illness, it’s especially important that you take other preventive steps, such as wearing UVB-blocking sunglasses when outdoors and not smoking.

Researchers are continuing to explore new ways to prevent and treat cataracts, such as developing medications that would reduce or eliminate the need for surgery. But, until such a treatment exists, your chances of fully restoring your vision with cataract surgery are excellent if you have no other eye diseases.

Did you know what is Blepharoplasty?

Did you know that Plastic eye surgery also called blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed to remove fat, excess skin and muscle from the lower and upper eyelids. By correcting puffy bags below the eyes and drooping upper eyelids, this procedure can reduce the signs of premature elderliness. Interesting huh??

However, plastic eye surgery cannot remove crow’s feet and other wrinkles, lift eyebrows or remove dark circles under the eyes. It cannot remove the markings of your racial or ethnic heritage either. Blerophlasty can be done either alone or in conjunction with another plastic surgery procedure, such as brow lift or face lift.

Best Candidates for Plastic Eye Surgery

Plastic eye surgery can improve your looks and self esteem, but it won’t necessarily match your ideal or make people treat you better. Before you decide to undergo such a treatment, discuss your expectations with the surgeon.

The best candidates for plastic eye surgery are people who are physically and mentally healthy and share realistic expectations about the outcome. Most of them are older than 35, but if you have cases of baggy eyelids in your family, you can decide to have the procedure at a younger age.

There are some conditions which can make plastic eye surgery more risky. These conditions include hypothyroidism or Graves’ disease, dry eyes, high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes. Glaucoma or detached retina is also a reason to be cautious and talk to your doctor before surgery.

Plastic Eye Surgery Risks

When plastic eye surgery is performed by an experienced surgeon, further complications are rare and generally minor. However, there is always a small risk of infection or an uncommon reaction to the anesthesia. You can reduce these risks by obeying the surgeon’s recommendations both before and after the surgical procedure.

Minor complications which can follow a plastic eye surgery include blurred or double vision for a few days, temporary swelling of the eyelid corner, scarring and slight asymmetry in healing. You can also get tiny whiteheads after the stitches are taken out, but your surgeon can remove them easily with a fine needle.

A few patients also have some difficulty in closing their eyes. Rarely, this condition is permanent. Another less frequent side effect is a pulling down of the lower eyelids, which may require another surgical procedure.
