It is a partial or total opacity of the lens, interfering with the entry of light into the eyes and leading to vision loss. Thus, cataract surgery is the replacement of the lens with an artificial intraocular lens. When well indicated and planned, it is very straightforward for the patient, however, it is a quite complex procedure that requires a lot of post-operative care. 00:02:10 If you neglect your care, especially in the first few days after surgery, you may experience complications that could put your vision at risk. That's why I decided to record this video: to teach you all the necessary care for a good recovery: 00:02:34 1) The first recommendation is to wash your hands thoroughly before handling the eye drops. When you apply them, the drop must be sterile when it reaches the eye. You need to keep the surface of the eye clean to avoid contamination and thus reduce the possibility of infection. 00:03:21 2) DO NOT SCRATCH or squeeze your eye! During surgery, the surgeon makes two very small incisions in the cornea, which is the transparent part of the eye. These incisions are said to be self-sealing, which is why surgical sutures are not needed. 00:04:35 3) Avoid sleeping on the side of the operated eye. This is an important rule. However, for my patients, I provide an acrylic shield like this one, which serves to protect the cataract-operated eye during sleep in the first week. 00:05:23 4) SUNGLASSES: It is relatively common for patients to feel discomfort with light, an aversion, and photophobia immediately after cataract surgery. Therefore, I provide my patients with protective glasses that will be useful in the first week. 00:06:35 5) EYE DROPS: It is important to follow your ophthalmologist's instructions and use the eye drops prescribed exactly as written. We generally prescribe antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eye drops to be used for about 15 days after cataract surgery. 00:07:35 6) Do not use cloth handkerchiefs, those famous little towels! Use disposable tissues or delicate toilet paper and discard after use. 00:08:00 7) If you notice blurred vision, a black band, or any area of ​​your vision completely black, contact your medical team immediately. 00:08:35 I usually say cataract surgery can be divided into 3 parts: A quality pre-operative evaluation, discussing the surgical technique and possible types of intraocular lenses with the patient, which is the second stage; The surgery itself. Therefore, never omit any information that is relevant to the post-operative period of cataract surgery. 00:10:30 It is essential that you attend all follow-up appointments with your ophthalmologist. Your vision will be evaluated, as well as any abnormal inflammatory processes, eye pressure, and even the condition of your cornea. In some cases, transient corneal edema may occur. If this corneal edema persists, it is important that you discuss with your ophthalmologist or cornea specialist what treatment options can be suggested. 📽️ Watch the best videos on the channel: Fuchs' Dystrophy, Guttate Cornea: https://bit.ly/3GcRkzh Learn how to clean your glasses: https://bit.ly/3faxh8Q Itchy eyes?
