Cataracts (Motiyabind): Types, Causes, Symptoms, and Risk Factors

What is Motiyabind or Motia in the Eyes (Cataracts)?

Cataracts, also known as Motiyabind, refer to the clouding of the eye's clear lens, leading to blurred vision. This condition often makes it difficult for individuals to see clearly, much like looking through a foggy or frosted window. People with cataracts often experience issues like difficulty reading, driving (especially at night), or recognizing faces. Cataracts generally develop slowly with age but can worsen over time, eventually interfering with daily activities.

In the early stages, stronger lighting and prescription eyeglasses may help. However, once cataracts begin to significantly affect vision, surgery becomes a common recommendation. Cataract surgery is a highly effective and safe procedure that removes the clouded lens and replaces it with a clear artificial lens, restoring vision.

How Cataracts Form The eye’s lens is located behind the iris and focuses light on the retina, which then sends visual signals to the brain. When a cataract clouds the lens, the scattered light disrupts the clarity of vision, leading to blurred or dimmed sight. Cataracts typically result from changes in the proteins and fibers in the lens due to aging.

Causes of Cataracts Cataracts can form due to various factors, including:

Aging

Diabetes

Excessive exposure to sunlight or radiation

Smoking

Long-term use of steroids

Eye injuries

Hypertension

Obesity

Alcohol overconsumption

Types of Cataracts

Nuclear Cataracts: These form in the center of the lens, often causing the core to yellow or brown.

Cortical Cataracts: Begin as white, wedge-shaped streaks around the outer lens, eventually interfering with light passing through the center.

Posterior Capsular Cataracts: Affect the back of the lens and typically progress more quickly.

Congenital Cataracts: Can be present at birth or develop during childhood due to genetic conditions, infections, or trauma.

Symptoms of Cataracts

Blurred or cloudy vision

Difficulty seeing at night

Sensitivity to light

Fading or yellowing of colors

Seeing halos around lights

Frequent changes in prescription for glasses or contacts

Diagnosis and Treatment Eye specialists use various tests like visual acuity, slit-lamp exams, retinal exams, and intraocular pressure measurements to diagnose cataracts. If cataracts are detected, doctors may recommend stronger lenses initially. However, surgery is often necessary when the cataract starts disrupting daily life.

Cataract Surgery: Cataract surgery is a straightforward procedure, usually involving ultrasound waves to break up the lens (phacoemulsification) or removing the clouded lens through a small incision. Once the lens is removed, it is replaced with an artificial lens implant. This outpatient surgery is safe, with a success rate of about 98% in India. Patients can return home the same day and recover fully within 7-8 weeks.

Post-Surgery Care After surgery, mild discomfort, watery eyes, or sensitivity to light is common. Your doctor will recommend avoiding certain activities, such as heavy lifting or bending over, for a week.

Prevention To reduce the risk of developing cataracts, take these steps:

Wear UV-protective sunglasses outdoors

Get regular eye exams

Quit smoking

Maintain a healthy diet rich in antioxidants

Manage diabetes and other health conditions

what if pathfinder’s kid is called something like cataract to parallel project iris

and it’s the inverse of ‘pathfinder’ because they were built to throw the outlands into confusion instead of to help them find stability

we're in this phase III trial of this thing that is soooooooo cool and i want to talk about it sooooo bad but 1. no. 2. no one will understand me if i do. 3. no.

but its so wild to watch disease processes go from totally untreatable to like. one time novel solution. in half of a lifetime. like from "not only do we not know why this is happening or how to stop it but i can tell you that you're just going to go blind," to "well if you come in and get this done every x weeks actually you will preserve most of your vision" to "actually maybe we can just do this one procedure and the thing that robbed 25% of your family of the ability to read by age 75 will simply not be a problem for you"

had an eye doctor appointment since the one last year~~

my vision hasn't changed I think~~ is what they said.

insurance let me get new frames and lenses this year~~ so now I'll have 2 of the same prescription to wear~~

found some frames that match the pastel aesthetic i have going on, and the lens tint I have will work really well with them~~~

in bad news I've got a cataract in my good eye now~~~ as one of the nurses or someone helping me with glasses said "welcome to adulthood" so I guess that just happens huh?

if they ever wanted to operate on it; it'll be a last resort, so that hopefully nothing makes me lose the only vision that I have~~

hopefully it's not a fast growing one and messes with my vision really bad~~ :(

I don't want to lose what little vision I have~~~ I couldn't play video games anymore~~~ :(

I hope I'm not taking my vision for granted~~ I hope I'm not~~~ idek what that means tho right off hand~~

there's so much awesome stuff to see~~ sunsets, sun rises, clouds, rain, the plants that you're growing getting slowly bigger~~~ your sibling's adorably photogenic cat~~~~

I couldn't dream of losing the entirety of my vision :((((((

anxiety didn't get to me cause I finally took an "as needed" propranolol before the appointment~~~ and things went fine~~~

[greaserink]

dunno if it's me aging or if I should go see a doc but this past week I've gained 3 new floaters in my eyes and if I stare for more than 5 seconds I see darts of light shoot through my vision lol should I schedule an appointment????

headcanons i have about Craig the scientist :)

as are most of the characters i have headcanons for, Craig is on the autism spectrum. he has a flat effect to his voice and facial expressions, doesn't really get most social cues, doesn't know how to react to others in pain the "right" way, misunderstands metaphors and speaks in quite a direct manner because it makes the most sense to his brain. he's quite a literal thinker. he also tends to hyperfixate so hard on a task that he forgets his basic needs and hygene, and thus has quite an unkempt look underneath that hazmat suit of his (which i will get into later!). Barry often ends up needing to get Craig something to eat because of how long he hyperfixates on something.

Craig sometimes doesn't exactly pay attention to his tone of voice, so sometimes he can say something that, to him, sounds completely normal, but because of his tone, can end up sounding really ominous to other people by accident ("We know who you are, Barry.")

Craig has traumatic cataract in his left eye (or wherever the fuck craig's visor crack is supposed to be in canon lol) from the explosion in 'Level 2' and is half blind in that eye. his eye has a very clouded look as a result of the injury. he's also got a huge scar there too that required some pretty gnarly stitches later, and his skin is almost completely numb around that area.

Craig also never really had the best eyesight before the injury, so he's always wearing these big ol' nerdy glasses underneath his helmet. and yes, they are tacked together with a band-aid lol

Craig is one of the few scientists who is not a clone of Peter Simpkins, the late friend of both Professor Brains and (in my headcanon'd canon) Craig. i like to think that Craig and Simpkins knew each other when they were first recruited by Legitimate Research and was pretty close to both him and Brains, and since Simpkins died, Brains has kind of taken more of a liking towards Craig (mostly out of loneliness and needing someone to help around at the lab, but he has a genuine fondness for him under his demanding and angry exterior).

There's a bit of a fan theory that Craig is the same guy as the scientist in the 'Robot Bird' rock opera, which i like to believe is the case. i mean, he's got the same monotone voice as Craig, it's gotta be him. i hope this does end up becoming canon because i think it'd make for an interesting conflict between Barry and Craig!!

Craig may or may not be related to Lab Lady.

Craig's counterpart in the mirror universe is named Kayla.

Craig is demiromantic and is questioning his sexuality (he thinks he might be bi or pan), though he definitely knows he loves Barry <3

Craig has an unhealthy habit of wiping his embarrassing memories, like, a lot. he wipes memories of awkward accidents in the lab, particularly painful failures, and most importantly, the memories of losing literally all his stuff and his career to Barry, which is why he doesn't immediately recognise him in the shorts. Craig has a lot of trouble recounting stories from the past because of this memory-wiping and felt a sense of emptiness, which getting hit in the head certainly didn't help with, so he tried inventing that apple in the Multiverse Madness event to get some of them back. it was pure dumb luck that Barry didn't end up witnessing what happened to Craig in the 'Robot Bird' opera and both are completely unaware of the disastrous can of worms that could have opened. bro's gonna end up like wallflower blush if he doesn't keep that memory erasing under control

and finally...

under his helmet, Craig has messy dirty-blonde hair, a rounded face that has a few stray facial hairs he forgot to shave, a long scar down the left side of his face, hazel coloured eyes and pale skin. this design is inspired by the designs made by @dexterno-artz and @schnabel53 respectively :D

this is a sketch of my finalised(ish) craig design!!! i've shown earlier versions of this guy in a couple of older posts but i haven't really revised his design much until now. i kinda had the idea of him looking like a stereotypical nerd and then made him messier. i might tone the amount of hair he has down a tiny bit but also i really like the nerdy bird's nest thing he has goin on :) i like to think he literally hasn't brushed his hair in several weeks and it's just become a bird's nest from nights of staying up doing science stuff

how i feel about barry tbh. he's literally so dumb i love him

(also apologies for the photos being kinda blurry and me forgetting to turn off the filter. again. in my defence it looks really nice and orange on my phone)

sometimes i like drawing him saying stuff from the shorts to get a feel of how he'd look when talking and make sure he looks juuuust nerdy enough for me to go "yep that's craig". also his big,g, handns,s,

drew this as a quick side profile sketch to get a general idea of how i want to draw him from this angle. he's talking to barry offscreen and falling in love with him <3

stupid little comic with a stupid little interaction that would definitely happen between these stupid little guys <3 barry being a little asshole every now and then is very entertaining to me. i need to see him antagonising craig and starting an old couple bickering argument with craig, that would heal me i think

i think i'll post more of this design in the future, i really quite like it a lot :)

[nemesis-is-my-middle-name]

like does he even have pupils

[thereareeyesinsidethetrees]

Okay I'm curious-

What eye color/s do you headcanon the Stan twins as having that aren't fully blue or brown?

I was thinking about how my headcanon for Ford's eye color doesn't fit either option. So, now I wanna know what other people headcanon!
