Hi Sir/Mam

Hello Subharao jI,

The following precautions are recommended post-cataract surgery:

• Be gentle with your eye and avoid touching, rubbing, or pressing on the operated eye to prevent irritation or infection.

• Take the prescribed eye drops and medications as directed by your doctor to prevent infection and reduce inflammation.

• Do not let water enter the operated eye while washing your face, showering, or swimming for at least 2-4 weeks. This helps avoid infections.

• Use an eye shield or sunglasses when sleeping and when outdoors to protect the eye from dust, wind, and sunlight.

• Refrain from heavy lifting, bending over, or any physical activity that could increase pressure in the eye for at least one month.

• Avoid driving, especially at night, until your doctor confirms that your vision has stabilized and that you are safe to drive.

• Take frequent breaks if you need to use a computer or smartphone, as prolonged screen time can cause eye strain.

• Attend all follow-up appointments with your ophthalmologist to monitor healing and detect any complications early.

• Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any sudden vision loss, eye pain, redness, or discharge.

Hello Ehtasham Ji,

We are sorry to hear about the vision loss in your left eye.

Given the complete vision loss in your left eye, it is recommended to consult an eye specialist as soon as possible for a thorough examination. They may suggest tests like optical coherence tomography (OCT) or fundus examination to determine the cause and potential treatment options.
