Patient's question:
My son is only seven years old this year. Due to an accident that happened recently, my son suffered an eye injury, which required an excisional surgery, and now he has an artificial eye. Therefore, I want to understand what precautions are necessary after an eye injury, excisional surgery, and having an artificial eye installed?Doctor's answer:
After trauma surgery, an artificial eye is implanted. In this case, it is first necessary to maintain good daily habits in daily life and pay attention to proper cleaning and care of the artificial eye. If there is discharge, daily use of antibiotic eye drops for anti-inflammatory treatment is required. The artificial eye should be cleaned and cared for daily, and strenuous exercise should be avoided to prevent impact and damage to the artificial eye. Regular check-ups should be conducted at the ophthalmology department of the hospital to prevent intraorbital infection.
