Capsulectomies are an important component of Breast Augmentation Revision Surgery. The term literally means to remove the capsule, but what is the capsule?

The body forms a pocket of scar around the breast implant called the capsule. It is the magenta layer surrounding the implant in grey shown above.

When a Breast Implant, or any implant for that matter, is inserted into the body, a layer of collagen scar forms around it. This is the capsule. The Breast Implant Capsuleserves several functions including:

Holding the Breast Implant in Place

Supplying a Novel Blood Supply around the Breast Implant

Protecting the Breast Implant from Infection

Providing a Shield Around the Breast Implant in Case of Leakage

Why Modify the Breast Implant Capsule?

Normally, the capsule around a breast implant is thin, soft and transparent. It is strong enough to support the breast implant, but not hard enough to be felt. If the capsule is too weak or too strong, capsule work may be needed.

What Are the Risks of Cataract Surgery in Singapore?

Cataract surgery is one of the most common and successful surgical procedures worldwide, including in Singapore. It involves removing the cloudy lens of the eye and replacing it with an artificial one. Although it is generally safe, like any surgery, cataract surgery carries some risks. Understanding the risks of cataract Singapore can help patients make informed decisions and know what to expect.

Understanding Cataract Surgery

1. Pre-surgery Preparation

Comprehensive Eye Examination: Before surgery, a thorough eye exam is conducted to assess the health of the eye and determine the extent of the cataract.

Discussion of Medical History and Medications: The surgeon reviews the patient's medical history and current medications to identify any potential complications or necessary adjustments.

2. Surgical Procedure

Use of Local Anesthesia: To numb the eye and prevent pain during surgery.

Small Incision in the Eye: A tiny cut is made to access the cloudy lens.

Removal of the Cloudy Lens: The cataract-affected lens is removed, often using ultrasound waves.

Insertion of an Artificial Intraocular Lens (IOL): A clear artificial lens is implanted to restore vision.

3. Post-surgery Care

Follow-up Visits: Regular check-ups to monitor healing and address any issues.

Use of Prescribed Eye Drops: Medications to prevent infection and reduce inflammation.

Avoiding Strenuous Activities: To prevent pressure on the eye and ensure proper healing.

Common Risks of Cataract Surgery

1. Infection (Endophthalmitis)

Description: Endophthalmitis is a severe infection that occurs inside the eye, usually resulting from bacteria or fungi that enter the eye during or after surgery. This condition can cause significant damage to the eye's internal structures if not promptly treated.

Symptoms: Patients may experience intense eye pain, redness, swelling, decreased vision, and sensitivity to light. These symptoms typically arise within a few days after surgery.

Prevention: To prevent infection, surgeons employ sterile techniques during the procedure, including the use of sterilised instruments and wearing sterile gloves and masks. Postoperatively, patients are prescribed antibiotic eye drops to further minimise the risk of infection.

2. Inflammation

Description: Postoperative inflammation is common and involves swelling and redness of the eye tissues. It is the body's natural response to surgery.

Symptoms: Symptoms include discomfort, eye redness, swelling, and blurred vision. These symptoms can interfere with the healing process if not managed properly.

Treatment: Anti-inflammatory eye drops or oral medications are typically prescribed to reduce inflammation. In some cases, more potent steroid medications may be necessary to control severe inflammation.

3. Increased Intraocular Pressure (IOP)

Description: Elevated intraocular pressure can occur after cataract surgery, potentially leading to glaucoma if not managed. High IOP can damage the optic nerve and result in vision loss.

Symptoms: Symptoms of increased IOP include eye pain, headache, blurred vision, and nausea. Some patients may not experience any symptoms, making regular check-ups crucial.

Management: Treatment involves medications such as eye drops or oral drugs that help lower eye pressure. Regular monitoring by an eye doctor is essential to ensure that the pressure remains within a safe range.

4. Posterior Capsule Opacification (PCO)

Description: PCO, sometimes referred to as a "secondary cataract," occurs when the back of the lens capsule, which holds the artificial lens in place, becomes cloudy. This can happen months or even years after the initial surgery.

Symptoms: Patients may notice a gradual return of blurred vision, glare, and difficulty seeing clearly, similar to the symptoms experienced with the original cataract.

Treatment: YAG laser capsulotomy is a quick, painless outpatient procedure used to treat PCO. The laser creates a small opening in the cloudy capsule, restoring clear vision almost immediately.

5. Retinal Detachment

Description: Retinal detachment is a serious condition where the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, peels away from its underlying layer of support tissue. If not promptly treated, it can lead to permanent vision loss.

Symptoms: Warning signs include sudden flashes of light, an increase in floaters (small spots or threads in the field of vision), and a shadow or curtain effect over part of the visual field.

Treatment: Retinal detachment requires urgent surgical intervention to reattach the retina. Procedures may include pneumatic retinopexy, scleral buckling, or vitrectomy, depending on the severity and location of the detachment.

6. Dropped Nucleus or Lens Fragments

Description: During cataract surgery, pieces of the cataract or lens fragments may fall into the back of the eye. This can happen if the lens is not fully removed or if it disintegrates during extraction.

Symptoms: Patients may experience blurred vision, discomfort, and potentially inflammation if the fragments cause irritation.

Treatment: Additional surgery, often a vitrectomy, is required to remove these fragments. The procedure involves using specialised instruments to safely extract the lens pieces from the eye, ensuring proper healing and restoration of vision.

Less Common Risks

1. Corneal Edema

Description: Swelling of the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye.

Symptoms: Blurred vision and eye discomfort.

Treatment: Eye drops to reduce swelling or, in severe cases, additional surgery.

2. Dislocation of the Intraocular Lens (IOL)

Description: The artificial lens moves out of its intended position.

Symptoms: Blurred or double vision.

Treatment: Surgery to reposition the lens correctly.

3. Cystoid Macular Edema (CME)

Description: Swelling in the central part of the retina, called the macula.

Symptoms: Blurred or distorted central vision.

Treatment: Anti-inflammatory medications or injections to reduce swelling.

Rare but Serious Risks

1. Loss of Vision

Description: Complete blindness in the operated eye, a very rare outcome.

Causes: Severe infection, retinal detachment, or bleeding.

Prevention: Prompt treatment of complications and regular follow-ups to catch issues early.

2. Haemorrhage

Description: Bleeding inside the eye, which can occur due to surgical trauma or pre-existing conditions.

Symptoms: Sudden vision loss and eye pain.

Treatment: Immediate medical attention and possibly surgery to address the bleeding.

3. Anaesthesia Complications

Description: Adverse reactions to local anaesthesia used during the procedure.

Symptoms: Allergic reactions or breathing difficulties.

Management: Thorough pre-surgery screening to ensure safe anaesthesia use.

Preventive Measures

Patients and surgeons can take several steps to minimise the risks of Singapore cataract surgery:

Choose an Experienced Surgeon: Ensure your surgeon has extensive experience and a good track record.

Follow Pre-surgery Instructions: Proper preparation, such as stopping certain medications, can reduce the risk of complications.

Post-surgery Care: Adhere to all post-operative instructions, including using prescribed eye drops and avoiding strenuous activities.

Report Any Issues Immediately: Early detection of problems can prevent severe complications.

Conclusion

While cataract Singapore surgery is generally safe and effective, understanding the potential risks is crucial for informed decision-making.

In the realm of ophthalmology, the treatment of cataracts has undergone a remarkable evolution over the years. From ancient practices steeped in tradition to cutting-edge modern techniques, the journey of cataract treatment is a testament to human ingenuity and innovation. Let’s embark on a journey through time to explore the fascinating evolution of cataract treatment.

Ancient Remedies: The history of cataract treatment dates back thousands of years, with ancient civilizations attempting various remedies to restore vision affected by this condition. Early treatments often involved crude surgical procedures, such as couching, where a blunt instrument was used to dislocate the cloudy lens from the line of sight. While these methods sometimes provided temporary relief, they were often accompanied by significant risks and complications.

The Renaissance of Surgery: The dawn of modern cataract surgery can be traced back to the Renaissance era, with pioneering surgeons beginning to refine techniques for lens extraction. One such notable figure was the French ophthalmologist Jacques Daviel, who in the 18th century introduced the technique of extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE). This approach involved removing the lens while leaving the posterior capsule intact, paving the way for safer and more effective surgeries.

Innovation and Advancements: The 20th century witnessed a flurry of innovation in cataract treatment, driven by advancements in surgical techniques and technology. The introduction of intraocular lenses (IOLs) in the 1950s revolutionized cataract surgery by providing a means to replace the natural lens with a synthetic implant, restoring vision more effectively than ever before. Phacoemulsification, developed in the 1960s, further refined the surgical process by using ultrasound energy to emulsify and aspirate the cloudy lens through a tiny incision, minimizing trauma to the eye and enabling quicker recovery times.

The Era of Precision and Minimally Invasive Surgery: In recent decades, cataract surgery has continued to evolve, guided by principles of precision and minimally invasive techniques. Femtosecond laser technology, introduced in the early 21st century, has allowed surgeons to perform key steps of the procedure with unparalleled accuracy and reproducibility. This technology enables precise corneal incisions, capsulotomy, and lens fragmentation, resulting in optimized visual outcomes and enhanced safety for patients.

I had my YAG laser capsulotomy yesterday. All I can really say is, Wow. I had forgotten how clear my vision used to be. It almost doesn't look real how clear everything is now. And I'm still technically dilated, so everything would normally be a little blurry now. My vision is going to be even clearer by the weekend.

I still can't read, though. Everything within a foot of my face is still blurry, and I have to hold books really close to my face to read them. But the dilation should wear off by tomorrow night.

It was basically like an eye exam with a slit lamp. After getting my eye dilated, I was called back into a small exam room and told to sit in a chair without wheels and put my chin on the chin-rest and look into the machine. After thirty seconds of hearing the machine making noises and her adjusting the position of the slit lamp, she said, "Almost done." I had thought she was just getting everything calibrated. The entire procedure took less than a minute.

I've been visually walking through increasingly thickening fog since August, unable to read or draw since October, unable to go outside on bright days without being practically blinded by the glare, and it took less than a minute to fix.

Since the counterfeit focal point embed is all the more painstakingly situated and arranged, more precise cuts may likewise hold the embedded IOL sufficiently.

To fulfill the one of a kind needs of every patient, we give a scope of premium fake focal points, including toric, multifocal, and aspheric focal points. These contemporary intraocular focal points can be utilized to treat nearsightedness and other visual refractive irregularities.

Can my cataract grow back? 

Cataract surgery is a common and highly effective procedure to remove a cloudy lens and replace it with an artificial one, often resulting in significantly improved vision. One question patients often ask cataract surgeons when considering  surgery is – can my cataract grow back?

Before delving into whether cataracts can grow back, it is essential to understand what cataracts are and how cataract surgery works.

Inside your eye, you have a natural lens that focuses light onto your retina. A cataract occurs when this lens becomes cloudy and affects the light passing through clearly. 

This often results in symptoms such as:

● Blurred or hazy vision ● Increased sensitivity to glare and lights ● Reduced night vision ● Reduced colour and contrast sensitivity

During cataract surgery, the cataract surgeon removes the cloudy natural lens and replaces it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Once the natural lens is removed, it cannot regenerate; therefore, a cataract simply cannot grow back.

Sometimes following cataract surgery, patients can develop a posterior capsular opacification (PCO). This is a common condition that can occur months or even years after cataract surgery is performed. Some people describe this as a ‘secondary cataract’ because it can cause gradual blurry or hazy vision mimicking the symptoms of a cataract. A PCO is not your cataract growing back, it is a clouding of the lens capsule. The capsule is a thin, transparent membrane that covers your natural lens. During cataract surgery, the cataract surgeon removes the anterior part of the lens capsule and the opaque lens material, and then positions the IOL inside the remaining posterior capsule. Sometimes after cataract surgery, cells can gather on the surface of the posterior capsule causing it to become cloudy. Fortunately, PCO is easily treated with a quick laser procedure called a YAG capsulotomy. During the procedure, the cataract surgeon uses a laser to create a hole in the capsule allowing the light to pass through, whilst the remaining edge of the capsule continues to hold the IOL in place. The procedure is quick, painless, and performed in an Ophthalmologist’s consultation room. Following a YAG laser capsulotomy, most patients experience a rapid improvement in their vision.

While cataract surgery can significantly improve vision, it does not correct for other eye conditions, such as glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration. So, it is possible for your vision to change over time due to the development of different eye conditions. It is vital to maintain regular eye examinations with an eye care professional, to monitor your eye health.

Cataract surgery is a highly effective and permanent solution for treating cataracts. It is a safe and reliable way to restore vision and improve your quality of life. If you are considering cataract surgery, book an appointment with your Ophthalmologist to discuss any questions you may have.
