Yag laser

When an eye surgeon performs cataract/lens surgery the surgeon makes a circular opening in the front facing capsule of the lens and then removes the inner nucleus. The remaining capsular envelope supports the new artificial lens which is typically injected in through the opening in the capsule. Over time the capsule shrinks and wraps around the new lens much like shrink wrap or cling film.

As the capsule contains live cells some capsule can develop a layer of new cells that form a frosting on the back surface of the lens. This is called posterior capsular opacification (PCO) or an after-cataract and can occur in up to 10% of patients after lens/cataract surgery. The frosted layer is much like the frosting on a window which can blur the view through the window and similarly through the new lens. PCO can occur at any time after surgery including a few weeks to months later.

Fundus examination with fundus camera

+A digital fundus camera is used to take an image of the fundus — the back portion of the eye that includes the retina, macula, fovea, optic disc and posterior pole. A digital fundus camera normally consists of a camera with a specialized microscope attached.

Distributing postoperative medications to camp patients

The goal of the postoperative assessment is to ensure proper healing as well as rule out the presence of complications, which can affect the patient from head to toe, including the neurologic, cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, gastrointestinal, hematologic, endocrine and infectious systems.

Several of the most common complications after surgery are discussed below, including their risk factors, presentation, as well as a practical guide to evaluation and treatment
