What are the common risks of Xi'an ophthalmic lens implantation?
Ophthalmic lens implantation is a common operation for the treatment of cataract. It can restore vision by implanting intraocular lens. However, any operation may have certain risks. The common risks of Xi'an ophthalmic lens implantation will be described in detail from four aspects: surgical infection, postoperative intraocular pressure rise, lens deviation and retinal detachment.
Surgical infection
A common risk of ophthalmic lens implantation surgery is surgical infection. During surgery, if the surgical instruments, surgical area or the hands of the operator are not clean, bacteria may enter the eyes. Infection may cause eye redness, swelling, pain, vision loss and other symptoms. Serious infection may also lead to conjunctivitis, keratitis and other complications, seriously affecting postoperative visual recovery.
In order to reduce the risk of surgical infection, the hospital will take necessary disinfection measures, and surgical instruments also need special treatment. At the same time, patients need to keep their eyes clean before surgery, and use antibiotic eyedrops or oral antibiotics for preventive treatment according to the doctor's recommendations.
Postoperative elevated intraocular pressure
Postoperative intraocular pressure rise is another common risk of ophthalmic lens implantation surgery. During surgery, the lens is implanted into the eye, which may affect the flow of aqueous humor in the eye, leading to an increase in intraocular pressure. High intraocular pressure will damage the retina and nerve tissue, and even lead to glaucoma in serious cases.
In order to avoid the occurrence of elevated intraocular pressure after surgery, the hospital will generally recommend that patients regularly check their intraocular pressure after surgery and take corresponding treatment methods according to the examination results, such as the use of intraocular pressure lowering drugs or other operations.
Crystal offset
Lens deviation refers to the abnormal position of the implanted intraocular lens after surgery. It may be that the lens was not placed correctly during the operation, or that complications occurred after the operation, leading to lens displacement. Crystal misalignment may lead to blurred vision, double vision and other visual problems.
In order to reduce the risk of lens deviation, doctors need to operate carefully during the operation to ensure that the lens is correctly and stably positioned in the eye. After surgery, patients need to follow the doctor's advice for regular follow-up visits to find and deal with the lens deviation in time.
Retinal detachment
After ophthalmic lens implantation, the risk of retinal detachment should also be considered. Retinal detachment refers to the problem of adhesion between the retina and other fundus tissues, resulting in retinal detachment from the normal position. This may cause vision loss.
In order to prevent retinal detachment, doctors should pay attention to the integrity of the retina and the gentleness of the operation. After surgery, patients should pay attention to avoiding strenuous activities and body collisions, reducing the chance of eye injuries, paying close attention to vision changes, and seeking medical advice in case of abnormalities.
summary
Xi'an ophthalmic lens implantation surgery has certain risks, including surgical infection, postoperative intraocular pressure rise, lens deviation and retinal detachment. In order to reduce the occurrence of these risks, the hospital needs to take necessary disinfection measures and preventive measures. Doctors need to operate carefully during the operation, and patients also need to strictly follow the guidance of doctors for nursing and follow-up. Only when we fully understand these risks and take appropriate preventive measures can we better ensure the surgical safety and vision recovery of patients.
