PROSTHETIC EYE IS RENEWED SELF-CONFIDENCE WITH
80 Year-old TR, who suffered a loss of vision in his right eye due to a blow he received at a young age, lost his eyesight over time, has made peace with life again after prosthetic eye surgery.
TR, who said that he received a stone blow to his eye when he was 10 years old and suffered vision loss, said: “I was hit again in the same eye in a car accident at the age of 20, and over time my vision loss progressed. By the time I was 55, I could see 3 percent. Because of high eye pressure and glaucoma, I had surgery twice in the process, but I didn’t see any benefit. At that time, when my pain continued, my doctors recommended that I remove the eye and replace it with a prosthesis. I’ve been to four different private hospitals, but I’m not convinced. Last time, on the advice of a friend, Assoc. Dr. I knocked on the door of the new peace. After the operation, all my pain ended, my anxiety went away, as it was not clear that my eye was a prosthesis. I feel like I’ve been reborn,” he told me.
‘It has to be personal ’
Eye Foundation Bayrampasa Eye Hospital Chief Physician Assoc, who emphasizes the importance of the patient’s psychological readiness for surgery in such operations. Dr. “Although this operation does not function, it means the loss of an organ. For this reason, it was very important that the patient was psychologically ready for this. After a half-hour operation, we didn’t completely remove the eye, but it was emptied and the implant was placed. During the external prosthesis, we only used eye drops. A month later, his new prosthesis was made. I recommend that patients who are considering this surgery do research so that the external prosthesis performed after surgery is necessarily performed in competent hands. Custom – made prosthesis is very important in terms of appearance. Ready-made prosthetics should be avoided, ” he said.
Quality of life scored
Our Turkish doctor member to AA and Turkey Medicals, in a statement, who says he “recommends such operations for patients who have lost their eyesight for different reasons and are uncomfortable with the appearance of the eye göz hastane,” in addition, eyes that have lost their eyesight and gone to shrink, pain, stinging, watering and sensitivity to light can do. In these cases, it can also be done to improve the patient’s comfort and quality of life. The idea of having a prosthetic eye instead of a blind eye is emotionally difficult for patients, whatever the reason. But with a very good surgery and a first-class prosthetic craftsmanship, most patients get face-to-face results, he said.
