Ricardo Cocco, ophthalmologist at Osakidetza, explains in the OSI Araba that thepatient suffers from congenital eye pathology that affects his visual ability. Eafter the first tests, they have positively assessed the possibility of intervening to improve his prognosis.
On the other hand, pediatrician Conchi Salado has indicated that an assessment will be made general, so that this surgery can be carried out with the greatest guarantees, analysing its state of health and nutritional status, as well as assessing the vaccination schedule of the minor and rejecting or seeking the causes of this congenital cataract.
Anesthesiologist Ana Soto has also indicated that a preanesthetic assessment will be carried out to confirm whether the patient meets the appropriate conditions for surgical intervention. In principle, in view of the data so far, there would be no contraindications and everything would be in order.
Once these assessments have been made, it will be checked whether the minor is a candidate for the introduction of an intraocular lens and the schedule of possible intervention will be set.
