A clouding of the cataract lens is called a cataract. Geriatric cataract is the most common blinding eye disease among the elderly in China. It mostly occurs after the age of 50 and increases with age. When cataract develops to a certain degree and has obvious influence on vision, cataract removal surgery can be performed, and artificial lens can be implanted at the same time, or moderate glasses or corneal contact lenses can be worn after the surgery to achieve the ability to see again and restore normal life and work. So, what are the instructions for using eyes after cataract surgery? The following is an introduction of post-cataract surgery eye care.
1. Avoid getting sewage into the eyes when washing and bathing within one week after surgery.
2.Avoid strenuous exercise and weight-bearing within one month after surgery to avoid excessive force and high intraocular pressure that may cause the surgical incision to open, and those who have constipation and cough should be controlled by drugs.
3.For 3 months after surgery, avoid rubbing or colliding with the operated eye. For those who have anterior chamber artificial lens or iris septal IOL implantation, avoid rubbing the glasses with hands for a long time to avoid damage to the corneal endothelium due to abrasion between the IOL and the cornea.
4.Patients after cataract intracapsular extraction need to be fitted with glasses early to correct the vision of the operated eye.
5.After discharge from the hospital, it is necessary to visit the hospital four times a week for follow-up consultation.
6.For congenital cataracts under 10 years old, parents must be instructed to treat the children with amblyopia after surgery. Since many parents do not understand the importance of amblyopia treatment, they often think that cataract surgery is a great success.
Reminder: Cataract only provides an opportunity for the child to train vision, the vision of the operated eye depends on amblyopia treatment.
