Are you considering cataract surgery and wondering about what post-operative care looks like? This information is essential for anyone looking to maintain a smooth recovery while ensuring the best results for their vision health.
Recovering from cataract surgery involves simple yet crucial guidelines to protect your eyes as they heal. While the incision is small and self-sealing, there are some activities you’ll need to avoid to minimize risks.
Stay out of pools, lakes, rivers, oceans, and hot tubs to protect your eyes from bacteria and other contaminants.
Avoid eye makeup, especially eyeliner and mascara, for at least a week to reduce the risk of irritation.
While you can negotiate some minimal makeup use, it's advised to limit products applied near the eyes.
Heavy lifting should be avoided for a week to ensure you don't strain your recovery.
Most daily activities, like walking and aerobic exercises, can continue without interruption, allowing a smoother transition back to your routine. Embracing the advancements in modern cataract surgery significantly shortens recovery restrictions, enabling you to enjoy an active lifestyle while your eyes heal. Prioritizing these guidelines can lead to happier and healthier vision in the long run.
