What are my restrictions after the surgery?
Right after the surgery, I'd like you to go home and take a nap
and use your prescribed eye drops as per our instructions. After
the office visit the day after surgery, you will able to resume
95% of your normal activities. For example, if you have surgery
on Monday, you'll be seen again on Tuesday, and you're free to
resume your normal activities that same day. You can choose to take an extra day or two off from your work, or you can
work immediately. In most cases, the eye will not be red and
your own family won't be able to tell you've had surgery by
looking at your eyes. The primary restriction is that you cannot
rub the eye for four weeks. In addition, you'll use eye drops in
the eye for a few weeks as well. Note that younger patients
(50s & 60s) with milder cataracts tend to heal much faster than
older patients (70s & 80s) with more advanced cataracts.
