Eye surgery simplified by technology by N. Kent Linton, M.D. Blindness is one of the most feared and tragic conditions to which humans are exposed. Cataracts are among the leading cause of blindness blind-ness in the world, but fortunately, with modern technology this cause of blindness can be adequately treated to restore useful sight over 90 percent of the time. At Mountain View Hospital in Payson eye surgery can often be performed on a same day surgery basis. Modern procedures are relatively new. During World War II, an English ophthalmologist noted that fighter pilots who had been injured were often able to tolerate small pieces of plexiglas in their eyes without difficulty. dif-ficulty. Their shattered cockpits had blown these small particles into the eye and it was often safer to leave them than to try to remove them. With this observation. Dr. Ridley began experimenting with replacing the lens of the eye with a small glass implant following cataract surgery. This development in the late 1940's led to the evolution of the intraocular lens implant over the next 30 years. In many cases, a small plastic lens can now be inserted at the time of surgery to replace most of the focusing power of the eye's diseased lens. This has proven to be a safe and effective procedure for restoring sight. Cataracts and cataract' surgery have been around for thousands of years. The cataract it self is a clouding of the normally transparent tran-sparent lens inside the eye. The black hole in the colored portion of the eye is called the pupil and the lens sits directly behind it functioning func-tioning much like a camera lens to focus an image on the back of the eye. When the lens becomes opaque, light cannot easily pass through and the vision becomes dim and blurred. There are many misconceptions about cataracts. It is not a film over the eye or lens and it cannot be "peeled" off. Using the eye does not make the cataract grow faster nor does it spread from one eye to the other, although a person may have cataracts in both eyes. Some cataracts do not require an operation since they have only a mild effect on vision. Cataracts are not related to cancer in any way. The history ot cataract surgery goes back at least 4000 years. Bronze instruments used for cataract-procedures cataract-procedures have been unearthed and traced back to the ancient Babylonians. The procedure in use then and still practiced to this day in some parts of the world is known as couching. A specially shaped, sharp instrument was inserted through the clear part of the eye into the pupil where the cataract was impaled on the end. The cataract then was rotated or forced downward until it no longer blocked the pupil. Needless to say, this required a surgeon with a steady hand and three or lo'ir strong men to hold the patient absolutely still while the procedure was performed. It also had the advantage of being outpatient out-patient surgery with the itinerant surgeon performing the operation at the patient's home, along the roadside, or whereever a patient could be convinced to undergo the procedure. Couching remained the procedure of choice until the mid eighteenth century when Jacques Daniel demonstrated a method of removing the lens rather than merely pushing it out of the way. A cataract can be likened to a grape which has an outer skin and an inner pulp. By rupturing the front skin, the pulp can be removed by suction leaving only the clear outer skin. This method is called extracapsular extraction since the "skin" or capsule of the lens is left in the eye. This was the method used by Daniel. In the late nineteenth century intracapsular extraction became popular because of the ease of the procedure and the fact that a GLASS PACKS BRAKES 7742 SPRINGVILLE, UTAH number of complications of extracapsular ex-tracapsular surgery were eliminated. In this procedure the entire lens is removed including the capsule. Despite the improvements, cataract surgery as recently as 20 to 25 years ago could still be an ordeal with the patient having to lie still for as much as ten days until the wound healed. A number of developments in recent years have made cataract surgery a much more pleasant, shorter and effective procedure. The advent of the operating microscope, finer instruments, and suture materials finer than human hair have permitted the ophthalmic surgeon to close incisions much more securely. This allows most patients to get up off the operating table and go home immediately after the surgery eliminating costly hospital stays. The new techniques and materials have also allowed extracapsular cataract surgery to play a more frequent and important role in ophthalmology. The laser is an instrument which can be used to treat certain complications com-plications of cataract surgery. When an extracapsular extraction is performed, the back capsule or "skin" of the lens is left in the eye. While providing some protection against other complications, this capsule may become cloudy a few months to years after the initial surgery. The laser allows the surgeon to open a cloudy capsule without reentering the eye with a knife. How does one see after cataract surgery when the focusing mechanism of the eye (the lens) has been removed? In earlier time, the only answer to this question was a pair of spectacles with thick lenses. This gave good straight ahead vision but had many distortions in the periphery and magnified objects up to 35 percent of their normal size. In the 1960's, contact lenses began to be used to improve this vision. The magnification was much less and peripheral distortions were greatly lessened. This type of correction can still be used quite successfully by a number of people. Thanks to these innovations, today's cataract patient can look forward to better sight than was possible in the past. The surgery itself has become a less unpleasant and uncomfortable experience and is usually done on an outpatient basis.

"It's a diagnostic field," said Volz, "and it combines a low level of invasiveness in-vasiveness with a high level of success." suc-cess." "The basic procedure involves bonding a radioactive element with the chemical compound in the patient's pa-tient's body and observing the results," Volz said. The radioactive elements allow the body's natural processes to be observed, and in many cases, those processes will reveal the patient's problem. There are several different tests that can be used by Volz to diagnose a problem, including thyroid scans, liver scans, lung scans, three different dif-ferent heart scans and bone scans, to name a few. "Nuclear Medicine is a physiological imaging modality," according to Volz. For example, in the case of broken bones, the growth rate increases in the injured area.

That s one of the things I like about my job. It's different every day." Trouble-shooting presents a special challenge to Volz. "A patient had a fever of unknown origin, so we drew a sample of blood and sent it to Salt Lake City. There, Indium-III was bonded to the leukocites. The white blood cells were then reinjected re-injected into the patient and the now radioactive white blood cells began to collect around the infected area. A scan showed where the problem was." "We do the least expensive, least painful test possible to make a diagnosis. Some tests may be less expensive than what I do, but if it doesn't help the doctor make the diagnosis, it hasn't helped very much.
