Question

What are the reasons for red eyes after vitrectomy? Do I need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long will it take to recover after treatment?

Answer

Based on your description, the red eyes may be due to conjunctival congestion caused by surgical irritation or bleeding from subconjunctival capillaries. It is best to go to the hospital where the surgery was performed for a follow-up check-up. If it is due to congestion or subconjunctival hemorrhage, there are usually no serious problems. You can use lubricating agents such as Befushu eye drops. However, if the surgery was not long ago, it is important to strictly follow the instructions for the medication you received upon discharge. At the same time, pay attention to rest, maintain a cheerful mood, and avoid eating spicy foods.
