Algorithms to detect poor calibrations are also presently quite primitive. [dizziness-and-balance.com]
The bubble is usually present for 6-8 weeks. Changes in altitude may cause the gas bubble to expand and cause increased IOP. Those receiving a gas bubble during retinal surgery are usually advised to avoid air travel. [glaucoma.org]

Entire Body System
- Pain
Treatment to relieve pain and discomfort Cycloplegic eye drops : these are eye drops that relieve pain by causing the pupil in your eye to widen (dilate) by relaxing the muscle in the ciliary body. [patient.info]
Be sure to see an eye doctor for prescription information or if you experience unusual ocular pain, tearing, itching or swelling. If you have had glaucoma surgery, don’t ignore a red eye. [glaucoma.org]
This can cause moderate to severe pain. Laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) : A thin layer of cornea is removed by the surgeon and a laser is used to change the shape of the cornea. The corneal tissue is then replaced. [medicalnewstoday.com]
You’ll want to follow [John]’s advice on discharging the high-voltage flyback section of any stored charge; we speak from painful experience on this. [hackaday.com]
Sunburn is also caused by too many UV rays: your skin turns red and may become hot and painful or even swell and blister. [canada.ca]
- Surgical Procedure
The most common cataract surgical procedure is called phacoemulsification. In this procedure, a very small incision is made on the side of the eye and the doctor inserts a tiny probe into the eye. [visioneyedoctor.com]
Cataract surgery is part of ancient medical arts; it was one of the earliest of surgical procedures, even in the Orient, traced back over 2,000 years. [itmonline.org]
- Severe Pain
This can cause moderate to severe pain. Laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) : A thin layer of cornea is removed by the surgeon and a laser is used to change the shape of the cornea. The corneal tissue is then replaced. [medicalnewstoday.com]
[…] because of the severe pain and desperate feeling." "Thereafter, as a result of the several operations I underwent, I escaped death and returned to work. [gensuikin.org]
Gastrointestinal
- Nausea
[…] altitudes or tropical regions) are an organ transplant patient and take medications to lower your immunity are taking medications that increase your sensitivity to UV rays (examples: oral contraceptives, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, tranquilizers, anti-nausea [canada.ca]
- Vomiting
Radiation Sickness - At doses of about 60 rem, 5% of exposed individuals may vomit. This increases to about 50% at 200 rem. At doses between 300 and 400 rem and without medical treatment, there is a 50% chance that a person will die within 60 days. [health.ny.gov]
Liver, Gall & Pancreas
- Jaundice
Treatment of skin conditions UV rays have been used to successfully treat a number of diseases, including rickets, psoriasis, eczema, jaundice, lupus vulgaris, and vitiligo. [canada.ca]
Skin
- Macula
Sun gazing is the most common cause of this type of injury, but prolonged unprotected exposure to a welding arc can also damage the the retinal macula. There may be permanent decrease in visual acuity. [digitalfire.com]
Diabetic patients also have a higher risk in developing post cataract surgery complication such as infection and macula oedema. [improveeyesighthq.com]
Unprotected exposure to UV light is a risk factor in the development of several eye disorders including cataracts (clouding of the lens) and macular degeneration (breakdown of the macula). [glaucoma.org]
Macular oedema : this is the term for fluid building up in the back of your eye around your macula on your retina. It may cause permanent visual loss. In addition, holes may form in the macula, leading to areas of lost vision on the retina. [patient.info]
The macula is many times more sensitive than the rest of the retina; without a healthy macula, seeing detail or vivid color is not possible. Macular degeneration has several causes. [eyediologyopticians.co.uk]
- Urticaria
The blue or UV component of light are particularly effective at aggravating the skin lesions of chronic actinic dermatitis and solar urticaria, and in the case of lupus erythematosus they make worse both the skin reactions and the disease itself. [ec.europa.eu]
Eyes
- Photophobia
Photophobia (which means you find bright light painful or uncomfortable). You may develop blurred vision or even some visual loss. You may develop headaches. [patient.info]
Early symptoms may be loss of contrast, glare (ie, halos and starbursts around lights, not photophobia), needing more light to see well, and problems distinguishing dark blue from black. Painless blurring eventually occurs. [merckmanuals.com]
- Strabismus
Visual outcomes after surgery are also fully addressed, with chapters on the occurrence of strabismus, nystagmus, and poor stereopsis. [link.springer.com]
Workup
Referrals for medical workups prior to low-risk surgeries such as cataract removal needlessly raise costs for Medicare and other payers, researchers find. [healthleadersmedia.com]
Treatment
Treatment usually includes the following: Steroid eye drops Steroid eye drops are usually used to reduce the inflammation in uveitis. Steroid drops are the main treatment for uveitis and may be the only treatment for mild attacks. [patient.info]
Carnosine is a dipeptide (alanine-histidine) researched mainly in Russia as a treatment for cataracts. [itmonline.org]
Treatment Treatment includes eyeglasses, contact lenses, and surgery. New technologies in eyeglasses and contact lenses allow better vision. [eyediologyopticians.co.uk]
While many natural treatments fall into the domain of pseudo-science with little supporting evidence, there are a number of natural treatment options that are backed by scientific studies. [home-remedies-for-you.com]
An eye care provider will evaluate your symptoms and talk with you about the best treatment. How is it treated? Cataracts in young children should be removed to help prevent other eye problems. [kpjampang.com]
Prognosis
What is the outlook (prognosis) for uveitis? In general, the sooner treatment for front of eye (anterior) uveitis is started, the better the outlook and the quicker it goes away. [patient.info]
Prognosis for good vision is excellent. Cataracts tend to progress at a slow pace and, as a rule, can be monitored on a yearly basis. At the appropriate time we can recommend surgery for your particular type of cataract. [eyediologyopticians.co.uk]
Etiology
As in the headline, the dispute between Alfred Vogt and Hans Goldmann occupied minds in the middle of the last century, as they tussled over the etiology of “glassblowers’ cataract.” [healio.com]
There is some epidemiological and laboratory evidence that sunlight is an etiological factor in cataract so that it would be expected that the two conditions – pinguecula and cataract – would occur together more frequently than by chance. [karger.com]
In the book Traditional Chinese Treatment for Senile Diseases (3), the etiology of cataracts is described as based in deficiency, leading to inadequate nourishment of the eyes. [itmonline.org]
Epidemiology

There is some epidemiological and laboratory evidence that sunlight is an etiological factor in cataract so that it would be expected that the two conditions – pinguecula and cataract – would occur together more frequently than by chance. [karger.com]
Cancer A study reported in the January 2001 issue of Epidemiology reports an increased risk for uveal (intraocular) melanoma, a common type of eye cancer. [livestrong.com]
Epidemiologic studies suggest that exposure to solar radiation in these wave lengths near the equator is correlated with a higher incidence of cataracts. [digitalfire.com]

Prevention
About Prevent Blindness Texas Founded in 1956, Prevent Blindness is the state’s leading volunteer eye health and safety organization dedicated to fighting blindness and saving sight. [chron.com]
How can I help prevent cataracts? Having your child wear goggles or safety glasses during activities where your child’s eyes could be injured can lower the risk of eye injuries, This can prevent the possible development of cataracts. [kpjampang.com]
Typical control measures are provision of enclosures and shielding around the source to prevent exposure, use of protective clothing to prevent skin exposure and use of IR-opaque eye protection to prevent eye exposure. [www2.warwick.ac.uk]
Enzyme inhibitors are considered potentially useful in preventing and treating cataracts: inhibitors of aldose reductase may slow cataract formation in diabetics by preventing glycosylation of the proteins and protease inhibitors may prevent the breakdown [itmonline.org]
Can cataracts be prevented? There's still a lot to be found out about the development of cataracts. [sharpeandfowler.com.au]
