Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.<\/strong>–\u00a0 Una de las principales causas de p\u00e9rdida visual en la poblaci\u00f3n adulta, especialmente despu\u00e9s de los 60 a\u00f1os, es la catarata.<\/p>\n

Ocurre cuando el cristalino, que es el lente natural transparente del ojo, se vuelve opaco con el paso del tiempo. Esto puede provocar visi\u00f3n borrosa, colores menos brillantes, dificultad para leer, sensibilidad a la luz y problemas para conducir de noche.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A<\/span><\/strong><\/span>unque es una de las condiciones visuales m\u00e1s frecuentes, muchas personas no se dan cuenta de que est\u00e1n perdiendo visi\u00f3n poco a poco. A veces se acostumbran a ver menos y piensan que es parte normal del envejecimiento.<\/p>\n

\u201cMuchas personas creen que perder visi\u00f3n es algo inevitable con la edad, cuando en realidad podr\u00eda tratarse de una catarata. Lo importante es saber que tiene soluci\u00f3n y que hoy contamos con procedimientos seguros, precisos y con excelentes resultados visuales\u201d,<\/em> explica el doctor Arnaldo Espaillat, director m\u00e9dico del Instituto Espaillat Cabral.<\/span><\/h5>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

L<\/span><\/strong><\/span>a cirug\u00eda de catarata consiste en reemplazar el cristalino opaco por un lente intraocular seleccionado seg\u00fan las necesidades visuales de cada paciente. Es un procedimiento ambulatorio, de corta duraci\u00f3n y con una recuperaci\u00f3n visual generalmente r\u00e1pida y progresiva.<\/p>\n

Adem\u00e1s de restaurar la visi\u00f3n, las tecnolog\u00edas actuales permiten personalizar el tratamiento. Existen lentes intraoculares avanzados que pueden ayudar a corregir problemas como miop\u00eda, hipermetrop\u00eda, astigmatismo y presbicia, conocida com\u00fanmente como vista cansada, lo que en muchos casos puede reducir la dependencia de lentes para determinadas actividades diarias.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cEl objetivo no es solamente retirar la catarata, sino ofrecer una mejor experiencia visual acorde al estilo de vida de cada paciente\u201d, se\u00f1ala el especialista.<\/p>\n

P<\/span><\/strong><\/span>or eso, las evaluaciones oftalmol\u00f3gicas peri\u00f3dicas son fundamentales. Un diagn\u00f3stico oportuno permite tratar la catarata en el momento adecuado y mejorar la calidad de vida del paciente.<\/p>\n

Hoy, la cirug\u00eda de catarata representa mucho m\u00e1s que recuperar visi\u00f3n: es una oportunidad para volver a ver con mayor claridad, seguridad e independencia.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
