What to do about low intraocular pressure after macular tear surgery

Low intraocular pressure after macular tear surgery can be treated by patients by adopting recumbent position, silicone oil or gas filling, and glucocorticoid therapy.
1. Recumbent position: After macular surgery, it will lead to transient low intraocular pressure, patients can adopt the recumbent position to make the retina and choroid in a better fitting position, and the intraocular pressure can be recovered gradually when the retina gradually recovers and the function of atrial aqueous humor forming system gradually recovers.
2. Silicone oil or gas filling: If the patient’s intraocular pressure is persistently too low after the operation, it may be caused by the lack of filler, and silicone oil or gas filling of the vitreous body can be taken to bring the intraocular pressure back to the normal level.
3. Glucocorticoid: If retinal inflammation is caused after macular schisis, it will lead to the appearance of low intraocular pressure, and a large amount of glucocorticoid shock can be used to actively anti-inflammatory.
Patients with postoperative low intraocular pressure should go to the hospital in time to clarify the cause, and take corresponding measures according to the patient’s specific situation.
