TitelAlpha-gal Allergy and Cataract Surgery
DoelTo describe the perioperative management of cataract surgery in a patient with
documented alpha-gal allergy and to assess the safety of selected ophthalmic surgical
materials
MethodesA case of cataract surgery in a patient with confirmed alpha-gal allergy was retrospectively reviewed. Available literature, product information, and information obtained through contact with multiple manufacturers were consulted to identify potential mammalian-derived components in ophthalmic medications and surgical materials and to guide appropriate product selection.
ResultatenHealon Pro was selected as the ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD). Phacoemulsification was performed, followed by implantation of an Artis +23.0 D IOL in the capsular bag. The procedure and postoperative course were uneventful, with no clinical signs of an allergic or hypersensitivity reaction.
ConclusiePatients with alpha-gal allergy require careful preoperative evaluation of ophthalmic
products for potential mammalian-derived components. With appropriate product
selection and perioperative planning, cataract surgery can be performed safely
