Abstract
Cataract is an eye disease, at the base of which is the cloudiness of the crystalline. This pathology, if not treated in time, causes blindness and is considered the main cause of blindness, especially in developed countries. The prevalence of cataract increases with the population aging. A series of co-morbidities such as diabetes, high blood pressure, glaucoma increases the risk of cataract installation, worsening the prognosis of the disease. The purpose of this study is the knowledge of the disease, symptoms, complications and the nursing care, also statistical data on cataract in Vlora district for the period march-September 2019. Nursing care is a part of treatment that has a key role in the preoperative phase and during the rehabilitation process. When people hear the word “blindness,” many assume that severe vision loss is permanent and cannot be cured. In the case of blindness caused by cataracts, vision can usually be successfully restored with cataract surgery and implantation of an intraocular lens. The studies identify that great challenge is to increase the population’s awareness of this serious disease, so that it can be detected and treated in time, preventing the total loss of vision.
