Post-cataract surgery care plays a vital role in your recovery and long-term vision. Dr. Urvashi Goja, Ophthalmologist & Retina Specialist advises lifestyle modifications & care tips to take post-cataract surgery. Here are some essential tips:Follow your doctor's instructions: Strictly adhere to the medication schedule and eye drop regimen prescribed by your doctor. These medications help prevent infection and reduce inflammation. Protect your eyes: Shield your eyes from bright lights and direct sunlight by wearing sunglasses or protective eyewear. Avoid rubbing or touching your eyes to prevent any complications. Rest and avoid strenuous activities: Give your eyes ample rest during the initial days after surgery. Avoid activities that put a strain on your eyes, such as heavy lifting or bending over. Keep the eye clean: Follow proper hygiene practices and avoid getting water or soap into your eyes while washing your face. Use a clean cloth or tissue to gently clean the area around your eyes. Attend follow-up appointments: Regularly visit your eye doctor for post-surgery check-ups. These appointments allow your doctor to monitor your progress and address any concerns or complications. Report any abnormalities: If you experience severe pain, sudden vision changes, persistent redness, or excessive discharge from the eye, contact your doctor immediately. These could be signs of complications that need prompt attention. Remember, each person's recovery may vary, so it's important to consult with your ophthalmologist for personalized post-surgery care instructions.
