The possible dangers of myopic lens implantation surgery are the formation of endophthalmitis, cataracts and secondary glaucoma.
IOL implantation is one of the most common surgical procedures used to treat myopia, and there are complications and sequelae that can occur after the surgery that can jeopardize the health of the eyes.
Endophthalmitis is one of the most serious complications, which is usually caused by bacteria and other pathogens in the external environment entering the eyeball and causing infection due to the patient’s lack of attention to eye hygiene after the surgery and the lack of strict sterilization during the surgery.
Cataracts are caused by damage to the patient’s own lens caused by the artificial lens implanted in the eye.
Secondary glaucoma is caused when the IOL implanted in the eye bulges forward and narrows or closes the angle of the eye.
Patients who wish to have their myopia corrected by IOL implantation must first go to the ophthalmology department of a hospital for a detailed examination, and the surgeon will formulate a surgical plan based on the patient’s eye condition.
