Cataract patients are able to recover from the stinging pain in the eye that occurs when they experience high winds after cataract surgery.
During cataract surgery, it is necessary to make a surgical incision at the edge of the cornea to remove the cloudy lens and implant a transparent IOL. The nerve fibers at the site of the surgical incision will be cut off, leading to a decrease in reflex tear secretion, which can easily lead to dry eye, and then there will be ocular discomfort and tingling when encountered with windy stimulation.
Generally speaking, three months to half a year after the operation, with the recovery of local nerve fiber function, the above symptoms can be relieved, the patient can also order artificial tear drops to relieve the symptoms, such as sodium vitrate eye drops, polyvinyl alcohol eye drops and so on.
After cataract surgery, patients may feel tingling sensation and foreign body sensation in their eyes, they should go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital in time, and the doctor will find out the specific cause and guide the treatment.
