Patient's question:
My grandfather had cataract surgery at the end of last October. Now his eyes have been hurting, and the intraocular pressure tests are not high. The cause has not been thoroughly examined yet. The intraocular pressure is 20 on the left eye and 10 on the right eye. I want to ask the doctor what is going on and how to relieve the pain? What medication should be used?Doctor's answer:
After cataract surgery, the eye experienced pain again, which may be due to inflammation. Currently, the intraocular pressure is generally within the normal range but slightly elevated. It is recommended to consider visiting the ophthalmology department of a local reputable tertiary hospital for follow-up. Medications should be used for symptomatic treatment, and it is necessary to pay close attention to rest, apply warm compresses to the eyes, and maintain a light and gentle diet, avoiding spicy foods.
