How many days can you shower after glaucoma laser surgery

You can usually shower about a week after glaucoma laser surgery, but the exact amount of time will depend on the actual condition of the individual’s eye recovery. Glaucoma laser surgery, which can also be called laser iris perimetry, mainly utilizes a laser to make holes in the surface of the iris in order to communicate between the anterior and posterior chambers and relieve intraocular pressure. This procedure causes damage to the surface of the iris, and the surface wound can initially heal in about a week if recovery is good. Therefore, eye hygiene should be maintained as much as possible for one week after the surgery, and water should be avoided to prevent eye infection. About one week after the glaucoma laser surgery, if the eye recovery is good, you can take a bath and other body cleaning activities, but in the process of bathing, you should pay attention to keep your eyes away from water as much as possible, so as to avoid bacterial invasion and cause inflammation, which will affect the effect of the surgery. After glaucoma laser surgery, you should pay attention to reasonable eye use, maintain eye hygiene, if eye inflammation occurs, you should go to the hospital in a timely manner for follow-up, to clarify the cause of the disease, and to carry out treatment as soon as possible.
