Question

do you expect a person who has had the lens of his eye removed because of cataract to be able to see ultaviolet radiation? why or why not?...plss...do answer....

Answer 1

You cannot properly "see" UV-light, because it is invisible, but if you're asking whether having your lens removed would expose the retina to more UV-light than it would otherwise be exposed to, then the answer is no. This is because pigment molecules in the cornea and iris are the primary obstacle for UV-light -- the lens itself functions primarily in focusing vision, and not impeding entrance of UV-light.

Answer 2

Once a cataract is formed, a surgical procedure is the only way to restore vision. The surgeon will remove the lens with the cataract and replace it with a clear, plastic intraocular lens (IOL).More details at http://eye-care.in/cataract.html

Answer 3

In the past, some patients had a slight blue tinge to their vision, possibly because of the effect of near UV light,,now adays, most modern lenses have a UV filter, claimed to protect the retina from UV rays. In summary, you wouldnt expect to see the UV light.

Answer 4

I was under the impression that it was the cornea which absorbed UV, but I know that people having eye surgery can see soft UV, but not hard UV light. But salt water absorbs UV, so the lens may, too.

Answer 5

once a person has a cataract removed a small optical piece is put back into the eye called.an intro occular lens.which brings his vision back to what it was befor the cataract grew
