Question
A child has undergone surgery for an eye trauma, during which the crystal was removed. How should post-operative care be conducted?
Answer
During eye trauma surgery, if the crystal is removed, an artificial crystal is usually implanted at the same time. If implantation is not performed at that time, it is necessary to wait for about three months until the eye condition stabilizes before undergoing the implantation surgery. It is recommended that parents regularly bring their child for follow-up appointments, adhere to the doctor’s arrangements, and do not cancel follow-ups arbitrarily. At the same time, strict adherence to medical instructions should be maintained, and appropriate care and guidance should be provided to the child in daily life to avoid the child from developing psychological stress. For pediatric ophthalmic issues, timely professional treatment should be sought, and treatment plans should be adjusted according to the doctor’s advice.
