Patient: The patient is a male, 83 years old, who had cataract surgery in both eyes at a local hospital in 1999, and his vision reached 1.0 after surgery.
He Yongqi, Cataract Center, Beijing Tongren Hospital: Hello! It is better to review the problem at the local hospital to determine the problem initially. If it is a posterior cataract, then YAG laser treatment can be considered.
Patient: Question: Can the lens be replaced or repaired after cataract surgery? Patient’s disease: Low vision after cataract surgery Description of disease (onset, main symptoms, hospital visited, etc.): Patient, male, 83 years old, had cataract surgery in both eyes in 1999. Currently, the left eye has mild posterior cataract with 0.3 vision and the right eye has 0.1 vision before surgery. Due to myopia and flashing light before surgery, this factor was not considered when the IOL was replaced at that time, and the vision after surgery is still 0.1 Can Can I get a new IOL or repair the original one to improve my vision? Thank you!
He Yongqi, Cataract Center, Beijing Tongren Hospital: Hello! We need to determine the structural status of the lens and the surrounding area. We can consider YAG laser treatment first, and we can consider wearing frame glasses to correct myopia and astigmatism.
