Training a cataract surgeon

چکیده
7 Post-operative complications (Sequelae). There may be early or late complications. Persistent inflammation in the early post-operative period and posterior capsule opacification in the late period can adversely affect visual results. To avoid or minimise these, a cataract surgeon should take particular care in post-operative follow-up, with early detection and treatment of complications. Routine follow-up on the first post-operative day, after one week and after six weeks is recommended.3
