| Postoperative complication definitions: IOP Rx: intraocular pressure treatment; increased IOP: sufficient to alter standard management of Maxitrol drops four times a day; uveitis: anterior uveitis sufficient to increase dose or prolong course of topical steroid; wound leak: sufficient to justify padding, bandage contact lens, re-suturing, re-admission or delayed discharge; dislocated/subluxed IOL: malposition of intraocular lens as documented in notes or incorrect placement of lens; iris prolapse: protrusion of iris through or into corneal section; cystoid macular oedema: clinical diagnosis documented in the notes; drop toxicity: increasing patient discomfort immediately after instillation of drops or diffuse corneal epitheliopathy; other: any postoperative complication not defined above. | ||||
