Will cataract surgery be infected in summer?Don't be pitted by these old ideas, listen to what experts say

"Old man, you are suffering from cataract, your vision is already poor, you can't drag anymore, you need to perform surgery immediately!" In the cataract special clinic of El Eye Hospital in Changsha, Dr. Tang Qiongyan, deputy dean of the hospital and director of the cataract department, is See the doctor.

Grandpa Xia is 76 years old and has a fuzzy eyes for more than a year. After inspection, both eyes suffer from severe senile cataracts, and their vision is below 0.2. Vice Dean Tang Qiongyan suggested that Grandpa undergone surgery immediately.

But Grandpa Xia has his own concerns. How hot in summer and sweating are more. Will surgery be infected, causing wound inflammation and recovery?

Besides, cataracts are not an emergency. Many people say that they have to wait until they are invisible and perform surgery. The effect is better. Do n’t wait for the coolness before doing it!

Can cataract surgery in summer?

Deputy Dean Tang Qiongyan introduced that Grandpa Xia's situation is not an example. Many cataract patients and family members in the outpatient clinic have such misunderstandings -worrying about the slow recovery of summer and postoperative infection, and thinking that summer is not suitable for cataract surgery.

In fact, cataract surgery does not need to be "optional" at all.

First of all, the incision of the surgery is very small. At present, the refractive cataract surgery carried out by Changsha Er Eye Hospital has a minimally invasive incision of only 1.8mm-3mm.

Secondly, there are strict drug standards after surgery, and minor inflammation reactions can be controlled in a timely manner. Summer or winter surgery is not much different.

Do you really have to wait until you can't see it before surgery?

Some elderly people can trust the eye drops, or they can be dragged on their illness, or they can be dragged. They can not come to the hospital for consultation until they are about to be invisible.

Deputy Dean Tang Qiongyan said that in the past, cataract surgery really had to wait for the crystal "cooked" to surgery, but now with the advancement of medical technology, refractive cataract surgery has become increasingly popular. As long as patients' vision declines affects daily life, it will then affect daily life. Considering surgery to solve the problem of cataract.

Conversely, if it is delayed blindly, it may cause problems such as increasing surgery and increasing complications, which will increase the difficulty of surgical treatment.
