A 60-year-old woman with cataract developed symptoms such as dry eyes, redness and blurred vision after cataract surgery. Her family rushed her back to the clinic and was diagnosed with dry eye caused by cataract surgery. With the help of treatment and artificial tears without preservatives, symptoms such as eye discomfort were relieved, and the cornea gradually recovered after treatment.
Dry eye caused by cataract surgery should focus on tracking postoperative lesions.
Yang, director of the ophthalmology clinic, said that cataract is the disease with the highest outpatient service rate in China at present. It is due to the turbidity and hardening of the transparent lens in the eyeball, which leads to poor light penetration and fog when looking out. Surgery is the most common way to treat cataract with high success rate, and almost all patients' vision can be improved after operation.
However, after cataract surgery, some patients will have dry eye. Yang Dean Qin Zhi pointed out that the reasons may be the age, the decrease of lacrimal gland secretion, the side effects caused by anti-inflammatory eye drops after operation, or the slow response of corneal nerve and the decrease of tears caused by operation. Therefore, many people will prescribe artificial tears without preservatives and ask patients to use them at the same time as drug treatment. However, if you have discomfort and can't improve it, you should return to the clinic as soon as possible.
Artificial tears without preservatives are mild and not * * *
Dr. Yang further explained that artificial tears contain preservatives mainly to inhibit the growth of bacteria. Artificial tears containing preservatives are not suitable for patients with fragile or damaged corneal epidermis or patients who need to use artificial tears frequently. However, most of the artificial tears in a single disposable dosage form do not contain preservatives, which is more suitable for patients who need to use them frequently. However, since it does not contain preservatives, it needs to be used within one day after opening to avoid bacterial growth.
