Why should lacrimal passage be washed routinely before internal eye surgery

summary

My eyes are always uncomfortable, so I went to the hospital to have an examination. The doctor said that I would have an internal eye operation. But I know that the eyes are very sensitive, so the doctor said that they usually flush the lacrimal passage before the operation. Now let me tell you why we should routinely flush the lacrimal passage before the operation of the inner eye.

Why should lacrimal passage be washed routinely before internal eye surgery

First: preoperative lacrimal irrigation is to do preoperative preparation to avoid postoperative infection. Irrigation of lacrimal passage before internal eye surgery is to eliminate chronic dacryocystitis. Patients with chronic dacryocystitis may lead to postoperative intraocular infection. For preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative infection, we should start with preoperative lacrimal irrigation.

Second: human eyes are actually prone to infection, which is mainly related to the lacrimal passage of human eyes. Tears are the more effective eye protection medicine secreted by our body. However, people rarely clean the lacrimal passage, which causes other bacteria to enter the lacrimal passage in the process of blinking. If the eyes are more sensitive, they will often have blood and so on.

Third: lacrimal duct irrigation is an operation technique that injects liquid into the lacrimal duct to clear the obstruction in different parts. The reason why we need to carry out lacrimal duct cleaning is to eliminate the infection caused by the residual bacteria in the lacrimal duct to our eyes. Because ICL is an internal eye operation, we can't be careless. Only after the lacrimal passage is washed clean, can we put it down for surgery, and control the postoperative infection caused by secretions such as tears.

matters needing attention

Patients do not have to be too nervous, after the operation should pay more attention to rest, eat more good food for the eyes, in addition, patients do not watch mobile phones, do not stay up late, pay attention to let their eyes get enough rest, so as to make the operation successful, will not relapse.
