CORNEAL OEDEMA AFTER CATARACT SURGERY- AN OVERVIEW
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 7
Abstract
BACKGROUND Phacoemulsification is the most commonly performed cataract surgery now a days. Most of the patients are able to achieve excellent visual outcome due to availability of advanced equipment. Corneal oedema after phacoemulsification in the immediate postoperative period often leads to patient dissatisfaction and worsening of outcome. Thorough pre-operative workup is important to find out any risk factor which is associated with high chances of postoperative corneal oedema. Aetiological factors of early onset corneal oedema must be identified and dealt accordingly. In the early stage, medical management or minor surgical interventions are sufficient to resolve the condition. Delayed onset corneal oedema often requires endothelial keratoplasty. This review highlights the etiopathogenesis, risk factors, investigative modalities and management of corneal oedema in the acute and late phase.
