What to Expect After Cataract Surgery

After cataract surgery, patients should pay attention to postoperative care and life care, such as developing good eye habits, following the doctor’s instructions for medication, and avoiding strenuous exercise. 1. Good eye habits: After cataract surgery, patients need to pay attention to develop good eye habits to avoid eye fatigue, which will affect the recovery of the condition after surgery. 2. Compliance with medication: After surgery, patients also need to follow the doctor’s instructions to use medication, such as tobramycin eye drops, to prevent infection. Patients also need to avoid rubbing their eyes with dirty hands or letting dirty water into their eyes to avoid eye infections. 3. Avoid strenuous exercise: cataract patients need to avoid strenuous exercise after surgery, such as bungee jumping, boxing, etc. Otherwise, it may lead to ectasia of the IOL, and patients may experience vision loss, increased intraocular pressure and other uncomfortable symptoms. It is recommended that post-cataract surgery patients follow the doctor’s instructions for care, regular review, and timely consultation after discomfort occurs.
