In der Sprechstunde: Grauer Star Erkennen - verstehen - behandeln

Cataract – the clouding of the lens in the eye – primarily affects people over the age of 60, but can also be a result of metabolic diseases or eye deformities. Often, the disease begins unnoticed and progresses gradually until those affected complain of increased sensitivity to glare, faded colors and contrasts, as well as a deteriorated ability to adjust to light and dark. At that point, surgical replacement of the lens is the only option to restore vision. In this book, patients and their relatives will learn everything they need to know about the causes, diagnosis, and progression of cataracts. Comprehensive and competent, ophthalmologist Dr. Carsten Grohmann explains common procedures and provides important tips for preparing for and recovering from surgery.
