Postoperative ocular inflammation refers to inflammation that occurs in the eye after a surgical procedure. It is a common complication of many types of eye surgery, including cataract surgery, glaucoma surgery, and corneal transplantation.
Symptoms of postoperative ocular inflammation can include redness, pain, swelling, blurred vision, and sensitivity to light. In some cases, the inflammation can also cause an increase in intraocular pressure, which can lead to further complications.
Treatment for postoperative ocular inflammation typically involves the use of anti-inflammatory medications, such as corticosteroids or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), to reduce inflammation and manage symptoms. In some cases, antibiotics may also be prescribed to prevent or treat infections.
Preventing postoperative ocular inflammation requires careful preoperative evaluation and planning, as well as adherence to surgical techniques that minimize tissue trauma and inflammation. Additionally, close monitoring of the patient during the postoperative period is important to detect any signs of inflammation early and to initiate appropriate treatment as needed.
