cataract derives from the Latin cataractameaning "waterfall" and the Greek kataraktesand katarrhaktes, from katarassein meaning "to
dash down" (kata -, "down"; arassein , "to
strike, dash").
As rapidly running water turns white, the term
may later have been used metaphorically to
describe the similar appearance of mature ocularopacities. In dialect English a cataract is called a
pearl, as in "pearl eye" and "pearl-eyed.

Gender
Long-term exposure to ultraviolet lightage-related 40s and 50s
Immature Senile Cataract (IMSC) - partially
opaque lens, disc view hazy
Mature Senile Cataract (MSC) - Completelyopaque lens, no disc view
Hypermature Senile Cataract (HMSC) lens
protein breakdown into short chain polypeptides
that leak out through the lens capsule. Liquefied
cortical matter: Morgagnian Cataract
ETIOLOGY

Smoking
Genetic factors are often a cause of congenital
cataracts and positive family history
Congenital cataract
Excessive exposure to radiation coming from
outer space such as Icelandair pilots showed
commercial airline pilots are three times more likely to
develop cataracts than people with non-flying jobs. Common in persons exposed to infrared radiation,
such as glassblowers who suffer from "exfoliation
syndrome".
Exposure to microwave radiation can causecataracts.
Drug induced cataract development, such as
Corticosteroids and Ezetimibe and Seroquel

Secondary cataract
Traumatic Penetrating trauma (capsular rupture
& leakage of lens material - calls for an
emergency surgery for extraction of lensand leaked material to minimize further
damage)
Nutrition-nutritional deficiencies of nutrients
include riboflavin, total protein, amino acids,vitamin E, vitamin C, selenium, calcium, zinc

INCIDENCE
According to the World HealthOrganization, there are about 42
million blind people in the world; of
which 17 million (40%) are blind dueto cataract. In the Philippines with
the estimated population of 86, 241,
6972 the prevalence rate of persons
with cataract is 1,743,857

Cloudy or painless blurry vision.
Colors seem faded.
Glare. Headlights, lamps, or sunlight may
appear too bright. A halo may appear around
lights.Poor night vision.
Double vision or multiple images in one eye.
(This symptom may clear as the cataract gets
larger.)Vision is better in dim light with pupil dilation
Absence ofred reflex

Prevention
Although cataracts have no scientifically proven prevention, it issometimes said that wearing ultraviolet-protecting sunglasses may
slow the development of cataracts. Regular intake of antioxidants
(such as vitamin A, C and E) is theoretically helpful, but taking them
as a supplement has been shown to have no benefit.
Treatment
The symptoms of early cataract may be improved with:
new eyeglasses
brighter lighting
Anti-glare sunglasses or magnifying lenses.

Risk of cataract surgery
Infection and bleeding
Retinal detachment
Endophthalmitis
Posterior capsular opacification
Inflammation (pain, redness, swelling), loss ofvision, double vision, and high or low eye pressure
Eye tissue that encloses the IOL becomes cloudy
and may blur your vision. This condition is called an
after-cataract. An after-cataract can develop monthsor years after cataract surgery.

Happens before surgery?
A week or two before surgery, doctor will do
some tests. These tests may include
measuring the curve of the cornea and thesize and shape of your eye. This information
helps the doctor choose the right type of IOL
may be asked not to eat or drink anything 12
hours before your surgery.

Happens during surgery?drops will be put into your eye to dilate the pupil.
The area around your eye will be washed andcleansed.
The operation usually lasts less than one hour and is
almost painless.
If awake, an anesthetic to numb the nerves in andaround eye.
After the operation, a patch may be placed over your
eye.
You will rest for a while.medical team will watch for any problems, such as
bleeding. Most people who have cataract surgery can
go home the same day.
will need someone to drive you home.

Happens after surgery?Itching and mild discomfort
Some fluid discharge
sensitive to light and touch
After one or two days, moderate discomfort should
disappear.
need to wear an eye shield or eyeglasses to help
protect your eye. Avoid rubbing or pressing on your eye.
When you are home, try not to bend from the waist to
pick up objects on the floor.
Do not lift any heavy objects. You can walk, climb stairs,
and do light household chores.
In most cases, healing will be complete within eight
weeks.

Sensory/perceptual alteration (visual) related to lensextraction and replacement
NURSING MANAGEMENT
Fearrelated toupcoming surgery and potential failure attain
improved vision
Acute pain related to increased intraocular pressure
Risk for infection related to increased susceptibility to
surgical interruption of body surfaces
Risk for injury related to visual limitations and presence in
an unfamiliar environment

Pre-op nursing care1. Instruct measures to prevent or decrease IOP
Avoid heavy lifting, violent coughing, bending lower the waist, reading (but
watching tv is allowed).
Avoid prolonged anger and sexual activity
2. Administer pre-op eye medications including mydriatics and cycloplegics
as prescribed. Ex: atropine
Post-op nursing care1. Elevate the head of the bead 30-45 degrees
2. Turn the client to the back or unoperative side3. Pharmacologic: antibiotic-steroids
4. No aspirin due to clotting effect
5. Instruct measures to prevent or decrease IOP
6. Wear glasses during the day until the pupils responds to light
7. Eye shield at night or while sleeping
8. For minor pain: ice or heat as prescribed9. Shower or bathing is allowed
10.Care of the dressings
11.Stool softeners
12.Instruct to report pain with nausea and vomiting.
