Focus on the prevention of age-related cataracts

Aspirin also slow down the progress of the cataract disease, but the drug for gastric irritation large and should be taken after meals. Age-related cataract is a common acquired cataract, because of its unknown cause, so it has been the prevention of medical scientists are continuing to explore. In recent years, scholars have found a number of effective methods of prevention: To prevent dehydration in the event of human cases of dehydration, body fluids and normal metabolism, it will Abnormal some of the chemicals that damage the lens, causing cataracts occurred, and has been on cataract patients, dehydration can aggravate the condition. As a result, once they come across a variety of causes diarrhea, vomiting, or high temperature conditions, a large number of sweat, rehydration in a timely manner should, under normal circumstances, only drinking water, tea can be. Wearing dark glasses by solar ultraviolet radiation longer, the greater the likelihood of suffering from cataract. Research indicates that when they go out wearing dark glasses, his eyes can be reduced ultraviolet radiation. After the 60-year-old vision of the decline in the elderly, such as the wearing brown sunglasses, we can prevent further vision loss and to prevent the occurrence of cataracts. Adequate intake of vitamin C in the eyes of the vitamin C content than about 30 times higher than in the blood. With age, nutrition absorption and metabolism been on the decline, the lens malnutrition, vitamin C content decreased with the passage of time caused by degeneration of the lens, causing cataracts occurred. Vitamin C also reduced light and oxygen damage to the lens, with the prevention of age-related cataract formation. Appropriate use of aspirin in patients with age-related cataracts are often high levels of amino acids, tryptophan is the only one with plasma protein binding of the amino acid. Tryptophan and its metabolites and protein crystals into a combination of brown material in the deposition of crystals to form a cataract. And aspirin can compete with tryptophan, and protein crystals, so that the crystals with a reduction in the level of tryptophan. The study also of the view that aspirin also slow down the progress of the cataract disease, but the drug for gastric irritation large and should be taken after meals.
