Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My friend had an accident a while ago and lost vision in the left eye. He has three issues in his left eye. There is a haem clot in the aqueous chamber of the eye. There is a membrane formation occurring there. Lastly there, is the permanent lens has been displaced from its exact location. However, the retina is intact.

I like to know whether there is any way to restore vision? If yes, how many surgeries are needed?

Kindly assist.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query.

A blood clot in aqueous will be absorbed spontaneously; however, if it is more, it has to be surgically removed. Even membrane formation is removed surgically. Due to the displaced lens, the vision is poor. It is corrected by placing an IOL intraocular lens. There is a good chance of vision; there is no retinal injury. But what about anteriorly to the retina is everything normal? It would have been better if you had attached reports.

Please let me know if I can assist you further.

Thank you.
