Patient's question:
Hello, my mother just had cataract and glaucoma surgery, about a week ago. My mother also has poor stomach health and heart problems. After the surgery, can she take Weikang capsules for her stomach and Qishen Yiqi for her heart? Will it affect her eyes, which have just undergone surgery? If she cannot take these medications, how long will she need to wait before she can take them? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Cataract surgery is now performed using magnetic resonance emulsification. The procedure utilizes magnetic resonance energy to emulsify the cloudy lens nucleus and cortex while preserving the posterior capsule of the lens. The incision is typically around 2 millimeters, located above the pupil, and is a small incision. The incision does not require suturing, and the surgery time is short. Vision recovery is rapid, and corneal astigmatism is minimal. These medications can be taken normally, and they have little impact on the eye. Aspirin is not recommended, as it affects blood coagulation.
