Conclusion The hypopsia after cataract surgery in the senile patients aged over 60 were mainly caused by keratopaphy, optic nerve atrophy and macularpathy of high myopia.
The longer those eye structures are stretched the higher the risk of disorders like myopic macular degeneration, retinal detachment… glaucoma and cataracts.
This is because the part of the occipital lobe in charge of the macula gets blood from both the posterior cerebral artery as well as the medial cerebral artery.
Traditionally medicine for conditions like glaucoma or diabetic macular odema is injected into the eye or dropped onto the surface and left to diffuse slowly throughout.
That patent that they finally got from the 1970s has led to all kinds of products, including ones that treat schizophrenia, heart disease, and macular degeneration, which causes blindness.
