El cristalino funciona de manera muy similar al lente de una c\u00e1mara fotogr\u00e1fica, enfocando la luz sobre la retina en la parte posterior del ojo. El cristalino tambi\u00e9n ajusta el enfoque del ojo, permiti\u00e9ndonos ver las cosas con claridad tanto de cerca como de lejos. Cuando el cristalino se vuelve opaco, los rayos de luz no pueden atravesarlo f\u00e1cilmente y la visi\u00f3n se vuelve borrosa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">El cristalino est\u00e1 compuesto principalmente de agua y prote\u00ednas. Las prote\u00ednas est\u00e1n dispuestas de una manera precisa que mantiene el cristalino transparente y permite que la luz pase a trav\u00e9s de \u00e9l. A medida que envejecemos, algunas prote\u00ednas pueden agruparse y comenzar a opacar una peque\u00f1a zona del cristalino. Esto es una catarata y, con el tiempo, puede crecer y opacar m\u00e1s el cristalino, lo que dificulta la visi\u00f3n.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">La mayor\u00eda de las cataratas se producen gradualmente a medida que envejecemos y no se vuelven molestas hasta despu\u00e9s de los 55 a\u00f1os aproximadamente. Sin embargo, las cataratas tambi\u00e9n pueden estar presentes al nacer (cataratas cong\u00e9nitas) o aparecer a cualquier edad como resultado de una lesi\u00f3n en el ojo (cataratas traum\u00e1ticas). Las cataratas tambi\u00e9n pueden ser causadas por enfermedades como la diabetes o pueden aparecer como resultado del uso prolongado de ciertos medicamentos, como los esteroides.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">El desarrollo de cataratas es un proceso normal del envejecimiento, pero tambi\u00e9n pueden aparecer a causa de lesiones oculares, radiaci\u00f3n, ciertas enfermedades, medicamentos o exposici\u00f3n prolongada a la luz solar. Los genes tambi\u00e9n pueden influir en el desarrollo de cataratas.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0Otros servicios:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"C\u00f3rnea\" href=\"http:\/\/premiermedicalgrp.com\/es\/services\/eye\/ophthalmology\/cornea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">C\u00f3rnea<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Glaucoma\" href=\"http:\/\/premiermedicalgrp.com\/es\/services\/eye\/ophthalmology\/glaucoma\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Glaucoma<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Cirug\u00eda oculopl\u00e1stica\/cirug\u00eda de p\u00e1rpados\" href=\"http:\/\/premiermedicalgrp.com\/es\/services\/eye\/ophthalmology\/occulo-plastics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cirug\u00eda oculopl\u00e1stica\/cirug\u00eda de p\u00e1rpados<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Pediatr\u00eda\/Estrabismo\" href=\"http:\/\/premiermedicalgrp.com\/es\/services\/eye\/ophthalmology\/pediatrics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pediatr\u00eda\/Estrabismo<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Cirug\u00eda refractiva\" href=\"http:\/\/premiermedicalgrp.com\/es\/services\/eye\/ophthalmology\/laser-vision\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cirug\u00eda refractiva<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Enfermedades y cirug\u00eda de la retina\" href=\"http:\/\/premiermedicalgrp.com\/es\/services\/eye\/ophthalmology\/retina-diseases-surgery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Enfermedades y cirug\u00eda de la retina<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A cataract is a clouding of the eye&#8217;s naturally clear lens, which lies behind the iris and the pupil.\u00a0 The lens works much like a camera lens, focusing light onto the retina at the back of the eye.\u00a0 The lens also adjusts the eye&#8217;s focus, letting us see things clearly both up close and far [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":109,"menu_order":26,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1731","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Cataract Eye Services - Premier Medical Group - Mobile Alabama<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Cataracts are fairly common.
