How to care for the eye after cataract surgery and the lens is removed

Patient's question:

The child has an eye injury, and during the surgery, the lens was removed. Please ask how to care for the eye after lens removal in an eye injury surgery.

Doctor's answer:

Generally, an intraocular lens is implanted during surgery when the lens is removed. If it wasn't implanted at the time, you need to wait for about 3 months until the eye condition stabilizes before undergoing the lens implantation surgery. It is recommended to have regular follow-up examinations and follow the doctor's arrangements. Do not skip follow-up appointments on your own. Adhere to the doctor's medication guidance, and pay attention to comforting the child to avoid psychological stress.
When patients are directly affected by pediatric conditions, we should promptly implement symptomatic treatment principles and avoid delaying medical visits. If the pediatric condition does not improve after treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
