Rebound Inflammation- Dr. Sumitra Khandelwal

🔍 Conquering Rebound Inflammation After Routine Cataract Surgery 💡 🎥 Dr. Sumitra Khandelwal, Professor of Ophthalmology at Baylor College of Medicine, shares expert pearls on tackling a frustrating yet common scenario: patients presenting with rebound #inflammation after stopping their drops. 🧐 While it’s easy to suspect compliance issues or simply prescribe a stronger steroid, Dr. Khandelwal emphasizes the importance of digging deeper: ✅ Rule out infectious causes like early endophthalmitis or viral infections (HSV, VZV, CMV) and consider oral antivirals when needed. ✅ Don’t overlook the possibility of retained lens fragments—hidden in the angle or behind the iris. ✅ Keep ugh syndrome on your radar. 💊 Treatment Tip: For persistent cases, try a slow taper or maintain patients on a low-dose steroid (daily or every other day) to break the cycle of inflammation. #cataractsurgery #eyecare #ophthalmologytips #complexcase
