Round cataract

A round cataract is a chronic eye disease in which the beads are cloudy, vision gradually decreases, and they gradually become blind. Due to the appearance of round silver-white or tan dysplasia in the pupil, the "Mythical Ophthalmology of Longmu" is called round dysplasia. This disease is more common in the elderly. Two eyes often develop, but they occur sequentially or in different degrees. There are more than ten species in the ophthalmology literature of the past generations that are similar to this disease, such as floating magpie, Shen magpie, slippery magpie, jujube flower magpie, yellow heart white magpie, such as silver cataract. Although its name is different, in fact, all the beads are cloudy, but the stage, degree, location and color of the lesion are different. When the disease is old, the vision can be restored after surgery. It is equivalent to senile cataract in western medicine.
