Refl : NKRI merdeka, harga pengobatan dimahalkan bagi rakyat. Begitulah 
ciri-ciri kalau  tukang catut penguasa negara.  Hehehe

Operasi katarak memakan waktu antara 15 – 20 menit. Tetapi ada berita,  tanpa 
operasi pun bisa ini ceritanya: 

Breakthrough in Treatment of Cataracts
Professor Steven Gallant, a biochemist at St Bartholomew's Hospital, London, 
was the first British scientist to discover the beneficial properties of 
L-Carnosine, a discovery he made whilst searching for a non-surgical cure for 
his father's cataracts. He says "I have been studying the effects of 
L-Carnosine for many years. It was first discovered back in 1988 that 
N-Acetyl-Carnosine had positive effects on cataracts. My father had cataracts 
and did not relish going under the knife so I tried to get some for him but 
unfortunately, at the time, it wasn't easily obtainable. My father had to have 
the operation, which thankfully was successful. But that got me to thinking how 
great it would be if we were to develop, and make readily available, a product 
whereby this condition could be addressed with a simple course of eye drops as 
opposed to invasive surgery. After many years' research, development and trials 
of Bright Eyes, many people are now enjoying much-improved vision due to this 
exciting medical breakthrough".

L-Carnosine is naturally produced in the body by the enzyme carnosine 
synthetase, high levels are found in nerve and muscle cells. L-Carnosine is NOT 
a drug, a vitamin or a mineral and does not react with any drugs. In early life 
there are high levels of it in the body but unfortunately, it decreases with 
age.

Studies on the many rejuvenating effects of L-Carnosine have shown that it is a 
very active antioxidant, which effectively quenches the most destructive of 
free radicals, it helps to prevent skin collagen cross-linking which leads to 
ageing, loss of elasticity and wrinkles, its amazing ability to rejuvenate 
connective tissue cells expedites wound healing whilst protecting the 
microvasculature of the brain from plaque formation, that may lead to senility 
and Alzheimer's disease.

Operasi Katarak Mahal, Penderita Melonjak

Minggu, 15/04/2012 - 16:32

YOGYAKARTA, (PRLM).- Penderita katarak akan terus melonjak sejalan kenaikan 
angka harapan hidup. Penderita penyakit mata ini potensial buta karena operasi 
yang direkomendasikan dokter banyak tak dilaksanakan dengan alasan biaya 
operasi mahal.

Ahli penyakit mata Rumah Sakit Akademik Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) Prof. 
dr.Suhardjo menyatakan biaya operasi katarak di rumah sakit di Yogyakarta Rp 7 
juta. "Ini cukup mahal," kata dia, Minggu (15/4).

Semakin mahal biaya operasi akan makin sedikit yang dioperasi, menurut ketua 
Ikatan Dokter Mata Indonesia Provinsi Yogyakarta, ini akan menambah jumlah 
penderita katarak.

Penderita katarak diperkirakan 1 persen dari jumlah penduduk. Kenaikan jumlah 
penderita per tahun 0,1 persen. Lonjakan penderita katarak empat kali lipat 
diperkirakan terjadi 2025 sejalan naiknya angka harapan hidup. Karena itu 
pemerintah menargetkan penurangan 0,5 jumlah penderita katarak pada 2020.

Di sela-sela operasi katarak gratis, dia menyatakan ikatan dokter mata 
mewajibkan setiap anggota mengoperasi (gratis) dua penderita katarak per minggu 
pada 2000 dan 10 penderita katarak per minggu mulai 2010.

"Saya saja (sebagai profesor, red) tak sampai mengoperasi 10 pasien katarak per 
minggu. Maknanya, angka operasi katarak rendah, maka terjadi penumpukan. 
Mungkin karena kemiskinan (para penderita). Maka harus ada kegiatan sosial, dan 
katarak harus operasi," ujarnya.

Menurut dia operasi katarak di tanah air kalah banyak dibanding Banglades 
misalnya. Karena itu operasi gratis katarak harusa digalakkan. Operasi massal 
ini kualitasnya tak lebih jelek dari operasai berbayar seperti menggunakan 
laser, tanpa jahit.

Dokter ahli spesialis anak Prof. Partini menyatakan angka katarak bawaan makin 
banyak menimpa bayi. Dia merekomendasikan pasien agar anaknya dioperasi katarak 
pada usia 4-6 bulan jika anak tumbuh sehat karena potensi berhasil tak buta 
sangat tinggi. Bupati Sleman Sri Purnomo menayatakan usia harapan hidup 
tertinggi di Indonesia ada di Sleman, rata-rata usia hidup 75,6 tahun atau 
lebih tinggi dari raya-rata harapan hidup tingkat Provinsi DI Yogyakarta 74 
tahun.

Harapan hidup yang panjang potensi mendatangkan masalah kesehatan tinggi. 
Karena itu pemerintah daerah menggalakkan program usia tua yang sehat di 
antaranya operasi katarak gratis kerjasama dengan RS Akademik UGM.
