Abstract

A GOOD SURGICAL TECHNIQUE IS IMPORTANT FOR ACHIEVING GOOD RESULTS AFTER CATARACT SURGERY. EQUALLY IMPORTANT IS MODULATING EYE’S HEALING RESPONSE AND AVOIDING/MANAGING EVENTS THAT LEAD TO SUB OPTIMAL RESULTS. PERIOPERATIVE USE OF MEDICINES BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER CATARACT SURGERY MODULATES HEALING, DECREASE INFLAMMATION AND SCARRING, IMPROVE COMFORT AND MAXIMIZE VISUAL RECOVERY AFTER THE SURGERY. USING TOPICAL AND INTRACAMERAL ANTIBIOTICS/ANTIBIOTICS ADDED TO BSS REDUCES CHANCE OF ENDOPHTHALMITIS. ANTIGLAUCOMA MEDICATIONS MIGHT HAVE TO BE INITIATED OR MODIFIED AFTER CATARACT SURGERY. INTRACAMERAL ANESTHETIC AND MYDRIATIC AGENTS HAVE MADE CATARACT SURGERY UNDER TOPICAL ANESTHESIA EASIER. ANTI VEGF AGENTS AND INTRAVITREAL STEROIDS HELP IN ACHIEVING THE BEST VISUAL RESULTS IN EYES WITH RETINAL PATHOLOGY. MANAGING DRY EYE AND DYSPHOTOPSIAS WILL IMPROVE PATIENT COMFORT AND SATISFACTION. THIS COURSE WILL DISCUSS THE USE OF ALL THESE DRUGS FOR ACHIEVING THE BEST RESULTS AFTER CATARACT SURGERY
