Do you need to wear sunglasses after cataract surgery?

After cataract surgery, you may experience photophobia for a short period of time, so you can wear sunglasses, but not too dark, and avoid going out in direct sunlight. After cataract surgery, the cornea is still edematous and the incision is not completely healed, so antibiotics are needed to prevent local infection. In addition, it is important to avoid getting dirty water into the eyes and not to rub the eyes with your hands in daily life. If the eye is traumatized, it is easy to cause dislocation of the lens, which will affect the recovery of vision and may lead to secondary surgery. The incision of the cornea will heal in about 1 month after surgery and will not have any effect on normal life after that. Even if you go out, you do not need to wear glasses or sunglasses.
