Uveitis can be complicated by cataracts, and complicated cataracts need to be treated surgically after the inflammatory reaction is controlled. Therefore, when uveitis is combined with cataract, eye drops should be used first to control the condition.
Uveitis refers to the inflammation that occurs in the membranes of the grapes. Uveitis is a common blinding eye disease in ophthalmology and is mainly related to immune factors. Complications of uveitis include cataract, which usually starts from the posterior capsule of the crystal, or the posterior pole and posterior capsule, and gradually expands to the periphery. Due to the toxin effect of inflammatory aqueous humor, it leads to the disruption of the normal physiological metabolism of the crystal, and cataract occurs.
Uveitis requires the use of pupil-dilating eye drops, such as atropine and homatropine hydrobromide, and topical anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid eye drops, such as hydrocortisone acetate, dexamethasone acetate, and prednisolone acetate eye drops. When complication cataract occurs, if the light localization and light perception are good, and the intraocular pressure is basically normal, cataract surgery can be performed under the control of inflammation.
