Rivaroxaban can be taken after 24 hours of good recovery from cataract surgery. Rivaroxaban is a new oral anticoagulant. It is recommended to temporarily stop taking rivaroxaban 24 hours before or on the morning of cataract surgery to reduce the possibility of intraoperative bleeding. Since cataract surgery involves a small incision at the corneal limbus, the amount of intraoperative bleeding is low. If the patient does not have any discomfort after the surgery and the patient does not have any risk factors such as high blood pressure, bleeding disorders or history of thrombosis, the patient can continue to take rivaroxaban 24 hours after the surgery after evaluation by the surgeon. After cataract surgery, eye hygiene should be observed and eye fatigue and strenuous exercise should be avoided. Take rivaroxaban as prescribed by your doctor. In case of discomfort, seek medical advice immediately.
