Cataract Question (10)

How soon will my vision improve?

What special treatment does my eye require while healing?

#: We recommend to use drops eye . And to wear for your eye protection sunglasses whenever you are out on sunny days if the light causes discomfort. Avoid direct pressure on the eye – don’t rub or scratch the eye.

How will I feel, and how will my eye feel during the post-operative period of healing?

#: Even if you have had a delicate microsurgical operation, you should have an easy post-operative period of healing. And you should feel as well as you did before surgery. In most cases, you will not have your eye padded. Most patients have an intermittent scratchy feeling for a week or so. So this is due to the tiny incision.

A slight headache over the operated eye is also very common,So don't worry. Any non-Asprin pain relief, e.g. Panadol, should provide relief. Should you experience severe pain,So please don't be late and call the surgery (your doctor).

Household chores which involve straining or lifting, gardening, as well as sporting activities, should be limited during the initial healing period. And you can read or watch TV as much as you wish.

Another important tips : Drops should be used faithfully until the bottles are finished. Your hair cannot be washed for a week after surgery and care must be taken with water near your eye.
