Eye surgery sequelae

Currently, more and more people are suffering from eye diseases, and the eyes are the most important organs in the human body. However, if you have myopia, hyperopia, glare, or other eye diseases and need surgery, you must think carefully. In fact, any surgery will have different degrees of sequelae. You should choose a regular hospital for treatment and avoid small, unhygienic clinics for eye surgery. Of course, the sequelae after treatment in a good hospital will be very low.

The problems that arise after eye surgery vary depending on individual physical conditions. Most patients will experience sequelae such as eye swelling and pain, eye hyperplasia, and keratitis. Therefore, after eye surgery, do not rub your eyes, do not use irritating cosmetics, and get enough rest, which will reduce the occurrence of sequelae.

How to prevent sequelae of myopia:

Strictly grasp the indications. As we all know, no matter what surgery is done, there is an indication problem. Not all myopia can be treated surgically. Some do not need or are not suitable for myopia surgery, such as fundus lesions, vitreous opacities, severe irregular astigmatism, etc. Myopia surgery will not only fail to increase vision, but will bring many complications.

Good nursing conditions and quiet and comfortable ward facilities are also indispensable for preventing complications, such as injury to the operated eye due to improper nursing, infection caused by falling out of bed while bandaging both eyes after surgery, or contamination of the wound during dressing changes.

The patient's full mental preparation and active cooperation with treatment during and after the operation are another important link to ensure the success of the operation. Complications may occur if one is not mentally prepared enough, is overly nervous during the operation, or moves the head.

The surgeon must have extensive experience in microsurgery, have undergone rigorous microsurgery training, be familiar with the microsurgical instruments used in surgery, and be familiar with the conditions of the cornea and eyeball with various types of refractive errors. He must also be able to cope with various unexpected situations during surgery, properly handle various problems, and prevent and reduce the occurrence of complications.

Effective retrobulbar anesthesia is an important part of ensuring the success of the operation. Inadequate anesthesia, intraoperative patient pain or orbicularis oculi muscle contraction, eye movement, etc. may cause unexpected complications.

Preoperative examinations must be accurate, such as measurement of corneal curvature and corneal thickness, mydriasis to determine the refractive power, etc. These examinations should be very accurate, otherwise there will be great differences in calculating the amount of surgery, the depth and number of incisions, and complications such as excessively deep incisions, corneal perforation, and irregular astigmatism after surgery are likely to occur during surgery.

After eye surgery, you should avoid strenuous exercise, and take some anti-inflammatory injections and medications to help the eyes recover. Do not smoke or drink, do not over-strain your eyes, pay attention to your personal hygiene, and eat a light and reasonable diet, all of which will reduce the sequelae.
