Are you curious about what to expect after a minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS)? Understanding your recovery can ease your mind and help you prepare for a smoother healing process.
In this video, Dr. Rebecca Shields discusses the typical recovery timeline following a MIGS procedure, offering insights that can make a world of difference for patients. Recovering from MIGS is usually a journey of about five to seven days, which means you can expect gradual improvements in your vision each day. While some might enjoy a seamless recovery, it's completely normal to experience some blurry vision during this time due to inflammation or minor bleeding.
Here are the key points covered in the video:
Recovery typically takes about a week, with daily vision improvements.
Blurriness is normal and expected during the initial days.
There are specific activity restrictions: no heavy lifting (over ten pounds) or vigorous activities like golfing, tennis, yoga with inversions, cycling on a Peloton, or swimming in pools and hot tubs.
Most patients can resume driving within two days post-procedure.
Everyday activities like using your phone, working on a computer, or attending social events are perfectly fine.
Dr. Shields emphasizes that while you might encounter some challenges, many individuals experience little to no vision changes as they recover. Knowing these guidelines can help you navigate those critical first days after the MIGS procedure so you can focus on healing and getting back to your life smoothly.
