Suppose you're past the rigors of cataract surgery. Your eyesight has more or less been restored thanks to a brand-new lens implanted into your eye. Such procedures carry the promise of reverting your situation to normal after the surgery. However, just because you're cured doesn’t mean you can get wild again.
There are many things to do after the operation, all of which will help protect your well-being. First up, let a family member or friend drive you home after the procedure. Make sure to have them assist you with walking to prevent bumping into any objects – especially glass. You may also ask them to administer the prescribed eye drops on you. One other important reminder is to refrain from any strenuous activities.
Stay away from the pool or hot tub in the first weeks after the operation to prevent complications to your eyes. In addition, avoid areas with heavy particles in the air such as unpaved roads. It's best not to head outside when it's windy so you won't be tempted to rub your eyes in the event that they get irritated. Taken together, these precautions will make a difference in ensuring your post-cataract eyes stay safe and clear.
