26^th Global Ophthalmologists Annual Meeting

Surgical Complications and Their Management

Surgical complications in ophthalmology encompass a spectrum of adverse events that can occur during or after procedures, requiring vigilant management to optimize patient outcomes. These complications range from intraoperative challenges like corneal perforation or lens dislocation to postoperative issues such as infection, inflammation, or refractive errors. Management strategies involve meticulous surgical technique, use of advanced imaging for precise planning, and prompt recognition of complications for timely intervention. Treatment may include medications, surgical revision, or supportive care tailored to the specific complication. Ongoing training, adherence to protocols, and continuous monitoring are essential in minimizing risks and ensuring successful surgical outcomes in ophthalmic practice.
