6 6 STONE COUNTY CONNECTION June 2018 A Letter from the Administrator STAYING SAFE IN THE SUMMER S HEAT With the beginning of summer this month, we can expect long, hot days with exceptionally high temperatures. Even if you do not plan to spend the day at the beach, or taking a hike on your favorite nature trail, you still need to know how to stay safe in hot weather during your regular, day-to-day activities.the American Red Cross has steps people can follow to stay safe when it s hot outside. Hot cars can be deadly. Never leave children or pets in your vehicle. The inside temperature can easily reach 120 degrees. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids. Avoid caffeine or alcohol. Wear loose-fitting, lightweight, light-colored clothing. Dark colors absorb the sun s rays. Slow down, stay indoors, and avoid strenuous exercise during the hottest part of the day. Check on those who do not have air conditioning. Check on animals frequently. Excessive heat can lead to sunburn, heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. If someone is exhibiting signs of heat exhaustion, move them to a cool place, and give them small amounts of water to drink. If someone experiences heat stroke, call 911 immediately. For more information about heat safety, visit redcross.org. Shelia Warren Assistant Administrator From the Desk of the Director of Nursing DIAGNOSING AND TREATING CATARACTS A cataract is a common eye condition where the lens becomes progressively opaque, resulting in blurred vision. Having a cataract can be compared to a dirty camera lens or a foggy window. Symptoms: Symptoms include blurred vision (especially in bright light), double vision, difficulty reading or seeing clearly in the distance, difficulty driving at night, change in the appearance of colors, especially fading or general yellowing, and frequent eye prescription changes. Causes: There are many causes of cataract formation; however, aging is the most common. As people grow older, changes to the protein that make up the lens can occur, leading to the development of cloudy areas. Cataracts can be hereditary. Injury to the eye, medical problems (ex. diabetes, eye diseases) or some medications (ex. steroids) may also cause or be associated with cataract formation. Diagnosis: A thorough eye examination by an ophthalmologist will determine whether a cataract is present. Risk Factors: Research suggests that some factors may increase the risk of age-related cataracts forming, including: Diabetes Family history of cataracts Use of steroid medication over time Poor diet and smoking Excessive exposure to sunlight over time Teresa Monroe, RN Interim Director of Nursing Treatment: Surgery will be considered when a cataract causes enough vision loss to interfere with daily activities such as working, driving, reading or watching TV. Surgery is the only effective way to remove a cataract and is usually performed in a hospital s operating theatre under a local anesthetic. If you have any questions or concerns about any aspect of cataract care, please discuss these with an ophthalmologist.
