What should I pay attention to after cataract surgery?
1.Follow the doctor’s instruction to use hormone and antibiotic eye drops after surgery, and some patients need to take oral antibacterial agent after surgery to prevent infection; follow the doctor’s instruction to review on time.
2.No water in the operated eye within two weeks after surgery; avoid dust in the eye; avoid rubbing the eye and preventing head collision within one month.
3.There is no contraindication for postoperative diet, but no hard food for the first 3 days after surgery, no smoking after surgery, and no spicy food as much as possible.
4, early postoperative daily activities are not restricted (indoor daily activities, walking, etc.), but do not participate in sports with large amplitude within two weeks, and suspend qigong training.
5.No heavy lifting and breath-holding for two weeks; keep the bowels open and do not make any effort to relieve the bowels; avoid violent coughing.
The heavier the degree of cataract and the older the age, the longer the surgery recovery time; it usually takes 3-7 days, and the recovery time may be more than 1 month if the corneal function is poor. In the early post-operative period, due to the removal of the cloudy cataract, the light entering the eye increases and some patients may feel photophobic, especially in the outdoor area.
