What happens after vitrectomy

Vitrectomy surgery is very common in daily life and will have many impacts on people's lives. Many patients will experience eye pain and increased intraocular pressure. These are symptoms of poor postoperative recovery. Timely medical treatment and the best postoperative care are needed. Only in this way can you recover your health as soon as possible and avoid causing great damage to your eyes.

1. Vitrectomy, also known as vitrectomy, is a common ophthalmic surgery that mainly removes cloudy vitreous or vitreoretinal traction to restore transparent refractive media and promote retinal reattachment. After this operation, the eye is usually filled with long-acting gas, so the postoperative body position is very important. It is generally a prone position, which can reduce the occurrence of postoperative cataracts. It usually takes about two weeks before the body position can be changed. At the same time, the intraocular pressure and fundus retinal condition should be checked regularly. The main thing is to have regular check-ups.

2 If you have undergone vitrectomy and injected silicone oil, there will be the issue of removing the silicone oil. Normally it will be taken after the second half of the year. If emulsification occurs prematurely or other problems occur, such as eye pain, high intraocular pressure, or blurred vision, it may be that silicone oil emulsification has occurred, or the retina has not grown well and has fallen off again. Go to the hospital for a check-up in time. Also, people with severe myopia should avoid strenuous exercise.

3 Your current condition may be caused by poor recovery after surgery and you need to go to the hospital to see a doctor for a follow-up examination in time.

Guidance:

It is recommended that you strengthen your nutrition and care after the operation, pay close attention to changes in your body, follow your doctor's advice, and go to the hospital for regular check-ups.

4 Vitrectomy is a high-level modern microscopic ophthalmic surgery developed in the early 1970s. Its emergence is considered a major reform in the history of ophthalmic treatment, breaking many surgical taboos that were previously untreatable and bringing light to countless patients with eye diseases. In ophthalmic treatment centers in developed countries, vitrectomy is the second most important eye surgery after cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation. Guidance: 1. Keep warm before and after surgery to prevent colds.

2. Pay attention to eye hygiene after surgery to prevent infection.

3. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and eat more nutritious foods after the operation.

4. Check regularly and avoid strenuous exercise
