The best results after cataract eye surgery

How Can You Achieve the Best Cataract Surgery Recovery?

You might be surprised at how good you feel and how easily you will be able to resume normal activities even the day after cataract surgery. However, you should observe a few precautions during the first week or so, to make sure you avoid developing an infection or sustaining an injury to your eye while it heals.

Your eye doctor typically will prescribe antibiotic eye drops to prevent infection and anti-inflammatory eye drops to help reduce any internal inflammation. You’ll need to apply the eye drops several times daily for about the first week during your cataract surgery recovery.

Depending on the amount of postoperative inflammation you have, you may need the drops for a few weeks to a month. Make sure you use these eye drops exactly as prescribed.

Oral pain relievers such as acetaminophen may be prescribed, if needed. Typically, however, you should feel only slight discomfort after cataract surgery. For a safe and speedy cataract surgery recovery, follow these tips:

• Don’t drive on the first day.
• Don’t do any heavy lifting or strenuous activity for a few weeks.
• Immediately after the procedure, avoid bending over, to prevent putting extra pressure on your eye.
• If at all possible, don’t sneeze or vomit right after surgery.
• Be careful walking around after surgery, and don’t bump into doors or other objects.
• To reduce risk of infection, avoid swimming or using a hot tub during the first week.
• Don’t expose your eye to irritants such as grime, dust and wind during the first few weeks after surgery.
• Don’t rub your eye, which is a good idea even when you aren’t recovering from surgery.

For the best cataract surgery recovery possible, follow your doctor’s detailed instructions about how to protect your eye following your procedure. Usually these instructions will be given to you as a handout that you can take home with you on surgery day. These guidelines may include:

• Do not work on the computer the day after surgery.
• It is better not to bend your head.
• You can go to the bathroom in the first day after surgery by using swim goggles.
• Like any other surgery, you need time to recover. So it’s better to stay in touch with fewer people to use less of your eyes.
• Save eyes from any hits at the first few days.
• Always avoid eyes from hit, but it’s more important in the first few days. So do not go to crowded places in this period.

If you need cataract surgery in both eyes, your surgeon usually will wait at least one week to two weeks for your first eye to recover before performing a procedure on the second eye.

Improve vision by new methods

When people refer to 10/10 vision or pilot-vision, they are talking about visual acuity and sharpness of sight. The first number refers to what you can see clearly at 10 feet away.

Pilot vision or supervision refers to eye vision that is better than 10/10. Although conventional cataract surgery, such as phaco, improves vision in patients, New methods of cataract surgery, which are used by Dr. Adib Moghaddam, can create a pilot vision in a significant proportion of patients. It is therefore suitable for people who seek to achieve vision beyond the standard.
