Algunos creen que la cirug\u00eda es dolorosa, que la recuperaci\u00f3n es larga o que las cataratas solo deben tratarse cuando la visi\u00f3n se deteriora gravemente. En realidad, la cirug\u00eda de cataratas moderna es r\u00e1pida, muy precisa y, a menudo, mucho m\u00e1s sencilla de lo que los pacientes esperan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusiones r\u00e1pidas&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Las cataratas provocan que el cristalino natural del ojo se vuelva opaco, lo que conlleva una visi\u00f3n borrosa o tenue.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No es necesario esperar a que la catarata est\u00e9 &quot;madura&quot; antes de considerar la cirug\u00eda.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>La cirug\u00eda de cataratas no deber\u00eda ser dolorosa y la mayor\u00eda de los pacientes se recuperan r\u00e1pidamente.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>La cirug\u00eda puede mejorar la visi\u00f3n cuando las cataratas comienzan a afectar actividades cotidianas como conducir o leer.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Un examen ocular completo es la mejor manera de confirmar si las cataratas son la causa de sus s\u00edntomas.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:51px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 siguen existiendo mitos sobre la cirug\u00eda de cataratas?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Muchos mitos sobre las cataratas provienen de experiencias antiguas con la cirug\u00eda, anteriores a las t\u00e9cnicas de microincisiones y la tecnolog\u00eda avanzada de lentes actuales. Otros surgen del miedo a la cirug\u00eda ocular en general. En Eye Care of San Diego, los pacientes suelen decir que pospusieron una evaluaci\u00f3n de cataratas porque supon\u00edan que la cirug\u00eda ser\u00eda dolorosa o solo necesaria en casos extremos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lo cierto es que la cirug\u00eda de cataratas ha cambiado significativamente con el paso de los a\u00f1os. Hoy en d\u00eda, la decisi\u00f3n de operarse depende menos de si la catarata tiene un aspecto &quot;grave&quot; y m\u00e1s de c\u00f3mo la visi\u00f3n afecta a la calidad de vida.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:20px\">Mito #1: \u201cDebes esperar a que la catarata est\u00e9 muy avanzada antes de operarte\u201d.\u201d&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Esta es una de las ideas err\u00f3neas m\u00e1s comunes. Antiguamente, la cirug\u00eda de cataratas sol\u00eda retrasarse hasta que el cristalino se volv\u00eda muy denso. Hoy en d\u00eda, ese ya no es el enfoque habitual.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si las cataratas le dificultan conducir de noche, leer, trabajar en la computadora o disfrutar de sus actividades diarias, es hora de consultar con un oftalm\u00f3logo. No es necesario esperar a que su visi\u00f3n empeore considerablemente antes de buscar tratamiento.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:20px\">Mito #2: \u201cLa cirug\u00eda de cataratas es dolorosa\u201d&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La cirug\u00eda de cataratas no deber\u00eda ser dolorosa. Se anestesia el ojo antes del procedimiento y la mayor\u00eda de los pacientes sienten presi\u00f3n o agua fr\u00eda en lugar de dolor. El procedimiento en s\u00ed suele ser breve y muchos pacientes se sorprenden de lo r\u00e1pido que transcurre.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Es normal sentir una leve irritaci\u00f3n o picaz\u00f3n despu\u00e9s de la cirug\u00eda, pero no se espera dolor intenso. Su cirujano le explicar\u00e1 qu\u00e9 es normal durante la recuperaci\u00f3n y qu\u00e9 s\u00edntomas deben motivar una llamada a su consultorio.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:20px\">Mito #3: \u201cLa recuperaci\u00f3n lleva mucho tiempo\u201d&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La recuperaci\u00f3n suele ser mucho m\u00e1s r\u00e1pida de lo que la gente espera. La mayor\u00eda de los pacientes regresan a casa el mismo d\u00eda y retoman sus actividades diarias ligeras en 24 a 48 horas. La visi\u00f3n puede mejorar en pocos d\u00edas, aunque el proceso de curaci\u00f3n completo lleva m\u00e1s tiempo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Es importante seguir las instrucciones postoperatorias. Esto incluye usar las gotas oft\u00e1lmicas recetadas, evitar frotarse el ojo y asistir a las citas de seguimiento. La recuperaci\u00f3n es individual, pero generalmente es mucho m\u00e1s sencilla de lo que muchos pacientes imaginan tras una cirug\u00eda de cataratas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:20px\">Mito #4: \u201cSi a\u00fan puedo ver un poco, no necesito cirug\u00eda\u201d.\u201d&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Muchas personas con cataratas a\u00fan pueden funcionar, pero eso no significa que vean bien. Las cataratas a menudo afectan la visi\u00f3n.&nbsp;<strong>calidad<\/strong>&nbsp;de la visi\u00f3n antes de que causen una p\u00e9rdida de visi\u00f3n importante. Puede notar deslumbramiento, colores apagados, poco contraste o dificultad para ver con poca luz mucho antes de que todo se vea completamente borroso.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Por eso las cataratas pueden ser tan frustrantes. Es posible que a\u00fan puedas leer una tabla optom\u00e9trica, pero que tengas dificultades para conducir de noche o que te sientas menos seguro en las tareas cotidianas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:20px\">Mito #5: \u201cLas cataratas pueden volver a crecer despu\u00e9s de la cirug\u00eda\u201d.\u201d&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Una catarata no vuelve a aparecer una vez extirpada. Durante la cirug\u00eda de cataratas, el cristalino natural opaco se reemplaza por un cristalino artificial transparente. Lo que algunos llaman \u201ccatarata recurrente\u201d suele ser una opacificaci\u00f3n de la membrana detr\u00e1s del implante, denominada opacificaci\u00f3n de la c\u00e1psula posterior. No se trata de una catarata nueva y, por lo general, se puede tratar con un procedimiento l\u00e1ser r\u00e1pido en la consulta.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00bfQu\u00e9 se puede esperar de una consulta sobre cataratas?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Una consulta de cataratas incluye un examen ocular completo, pruebas de visi\u00f3n y mediciones para planificar la cirug\u00eda, en caso de ser necesaria. Tambi\u00e9n es el momento de hablar sobre los s\u00edntomas, las actividades diarias y las opciones de lentes intraoculares.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En Eye Care of San Diego, los pacientes tienen acceso a atenci\u00f3n avanzada para cataratas, incluyendo:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eyecareofsandiego1.net\/es\/cataract-surgery\/laser-cataract-surgery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cirug\u00eda de cataratas con l\u00e1ser<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eyecareofsandiego1.net\/es\/cataract-surgery\/cataract-lens-options\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">opciones de lentes premium<\/a>, y tecnolog\u00eda como la&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eyecareofsandiego1.net\/es\/cataract-surgery\/cataracts-premium-lenses-ora\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sistema ORA<\/a>&nbsp;para facilitar una planificaci\u00f3n quir\u00fargica precisa en pacientes seleccionados. El plan de tratamiento adecuado depende de sus ojos, sus s\u00edntomas y sus objetivos visuales.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si la visi\u00f3n borrosa, el deslumbramiento o las dificultades para conducir de noche est\u00e1n afectando su rutina diaria en San Diego, el equipo de Eye Care of San Diego puede ayudarle a comprender si las cataratas son la causa y cu\u00e1les deber\u00edan ser sus pr\u00f3ximos pasos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reserve una evaluaci\u00f3n de cataratas en San Diego.&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si la visi\u00f3n borrosa, el deslumbramiento o las dificultades para conducir de noche afectan su vida diaria, programe una evaluaci\u00f3n de cataratas con Eye Care of San Diego.
