Why Crystal Implant Surgery Is Not Recommended

Generally, the reasons why intraocular lens implantation surgery is not recommended include poor corrective effect, issues with surgical adaptability and reversibility, risk of infection, risk of complications, elevated intraocular pressure, and other factors. A detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Poor Corrective Effect: Intraocular lens implantation requires surgery inside the eye. Implanted refractive intraocular lenses can alter the patient's refractive status and are primarily used for patients with high or extreme myopia. If the surgical procedure is improperly performed or postoperative care is inadequate, the surgical outcome may be affected, resulting in an unsatisfactory effect.

2. Surgical Adaptability and Reversibility Issues: Although intraocular lens implantation is suitable for certain patients with high myopia, not everyone is a suitable candidate for this procedure. Prior to surgery, detailed ophthalmic examinations are necessary to assess the patient's ocular conditions and surgical suitability. Additionally, although intraocular lens implantation is reversible (the lens can be removed), this does not imply that the surgery is risk-free or should be performed casually. Lens removal may require another surgical procedure, which also carries certain risks and potential complications.

3. Risk of Infection: Intraocular lens implantation must be performed under strict aseptic conditions. If surgical procedures are not properly conducted or the operating room is inadequately sterilized, the risk of postoperative infection may increase. Infections can lead to intraocular inflammation, presenting with symptoms such as congestion, edema, and pain. In severe cases, chronic endophthalmitis or other vision-threatening conditions may develop.

4. Risk of Complications: There are potential complications associated with intraocular lens implantation surgery, such as corneal edema, intraocular hemorrhage, and phototoxic damage to the retina. These complications may cause varying degrees of ocular damage and affect postoperative visual recovery. Additionally, some patients may experience lens dislocation or subluxation after surgery, which can also impair vision in severe cases.

5. Elevated Intraocular Pressure: After intraocular lens implantation, the implantation of the lens or surgical manipulation may interfere with the normal circulation of aqueous humor, leading to elevated intraocular pressure. Increased intraocular pressure may result in visual loss and even trigger serious eye diseases such as glaucoma.

Although intraocular lens implantation surgery can improve a patient's vision to some extent, there are also limiting factors. Therefore, prior to deciding on surgery, patients should fully understand the risks and precautions involved and proceed only under the guidance of a qualified physician.
