GUIDELINES FOR TREATMENT OF POSTOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS AFTER CATARACT SURGERY
Abstract
Background. Cataract surgery has evolved dramatically over the last two decades, largely as a result of technological advances. As a result, visual outcomes and patient convalescence have improved significantly. Cataract surgeons must be aware and capable of managing the many possible adverse events that can occur during cataract surgery.
Conclusions. This review identifies many of the common complications of cataract surgery, describes methods to avoid these complications and discusses techniques to address complications that do occur.
