What are the best ways to take care of a patient after a cataract surgery?

Doctor's Answer

Thanks for theD2D. It is very important to follow the post-operation instructions given by the surgeon to ensure a smooth and speedy recovery. Patients should maintain strict compliance to the post-surgery medications provided and ensure that their eyes and eyelids are always kept clean and water does not enter the eye.

At my clinic, we provide our patients with a “care pack” containing the necessary medication, accessories and instructions for post-surgery care. Our patients also come back for a review one day, one week and one month after surgery to ensure their recovery is well on track.

Always consult your eye surgeon early should there be increasing redness, pain, swelling or blurring of vision after the cataract surgery.
