In recent times, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and among the cataract patients received by the cataract specialist clinic of Wuhan University People’s Hospital Eye Center, many of them ask the same question, “Seeing that it is already summer, will this cataract surgery done be easy to get infected and inflamed?” , this problem is still troubling many patients in the end, in the end can it? Let’s find out. Modern cataract ultrasound emulsification surgery is performed by placing an ultrasound emulsification probe through an incision of less than 3 mm, breaking up the nucleus of the lens and emulsifying it, sucking it out of the eye, and then implanting a folded IOL without sutures. Cataract surgery is performed with local anesthesia, and for patients who can cooperate, only surface anesthesia is required. The operation takes about a few minutes, with small incisions, high safety, fast and stable recovery of vision after surgery, and reduced complications.
From the principle of cataract surgery, there is no seasonal restriction on the surgery, and the only precaution is to prevent sweat from dripping into the eye in the early postoperative period. For patients with nuclear cloudy cataracts, the strong sunlight in summer usually makes the pupil smaller, and the vision loss is often more obvious at this time, so those who are suitable for surgery should be more decisive. For cataract patients who are eligible for surgery in the summer, are you still seeing the world “blurrily”? The answer is obviously no.
