What is the patient's role after the surgery?

My job is to perform an accurate surgery of the highest quality for each patient. Your role as the patient is to do the healing. Since the final visual outcome is determined by both my surgical skill and your healing ability, it’s critical to follow the post-op instructions. The primary patient responsibility is using the prescribed eye drops for a few weeks after the surgery and not rubbing the eye. Follow up visits at the Maloney Vision Institute or with your co-managing local eye doctor are vital.
