Common complications of lens implantation in Zhongshan Department of Ophthalmology

Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department is a well-known ophthalmic hospital located in Guangzhou, China. Its ophthalmic lens implantation is a common method to treat cataract. Although this operation is relatively safe and effective, there are still some potential complications that need the attention of patients and doctors.

Postoperative infection

Ophthalmic lens implantation is a traumatic operation, so postoperative infection is a potential complication. Postoperative infection may lead to eye discomfort, decreased vision, redness and swelling of the eyes and other symptoms. Some patients with severe infection may need antibiotic treatment or other further interventions.

The key to prevent postoperative infection is to strictly follow the preoperative and postoperative disinfection and nursing guidance. Doctors must ensure that the surgical instruments are sterile and the operating environment is clean. Patients also need to wash their eyes regularly according to the doctor's recommendations after surgery, and use anti infective eyedrops.

Elevated intraocular pressure

Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is one of the common complications after intraocular lens implantation. Micro tissue damage in the eye after surgery may lead to elevated intraocular pressure, which may lead to glaucoma. The patient may have eye pain, blurred vision and reduced vision.

Elevated intraocular pressure can be controlled by using antihypertensive eyedrops. In serious cases, further treatment, such as laser therapy or surgery, may be required to adjust the intraocular pressure. Patients should see doctors regularly to check the intraocular pressure, and follow the doctor's recommendations for treatment and monitoring.

Edema and inflammation

Postoperative edema and inflammation is one of the common complications of zhongshan ophthalmic lens implantation surgery. The injury of eye tissue and surgical trauma after surgery may lead to edema and inflammation of the eyeball. The patient may feel pain, congestion and blurred vision in the eyes.

In order to alleviate edema and inflammation, doctors usually recommend patients to use cold compress and give anti-inflammatory eyedrops. These symptoms usually subside gradually. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, the patient should seek medical help as soon as possible.

Poor vision recovery

Although most of the patients can get obvious vision improvement after Zhongshan Ophthalmic Lens Implantation, a small number of patients may still face poor vision recovery. This may be caused by postoperative complications, surgical failure or individual differences.

If the vision of the patient does not improve significantly or has decreased after the operation, the patient should go to the doctor in time for further examination and evaluation. Doctors can formulate treatment plans according to specific conditions, such as replacement of intraocular lens, laser surgery or other auxiliary treatment methods.

summary

Zhongshan Ophthalmic Lens Implantation is an effective method to treat cataract, but it is not without risks. Postoperative infection, elevated intraocular pressure, edema and inflammation, and poor vision recovery are some common complications. Knowing and consulting the doctor in time, and following the doctor's suggestions and preventive measures can minimize the occurrence of complications to improve the success rate of surgery and the recovery of patients' vision.
