Postoperative care for eye health is crucial following surgery. The eye is usually covered with a bandage, which should remain on the eye for the duration recommended by your doctor. Avoid applying pressure or rubbing the eye after surgery. The length of your hospital stay will be communicated to you. If you are being discharged from the hospital, refrain from driving yourself. Begin food and medication intake as recommended by the clinical nurse and doctors. Consult your physician regarding activities such as washing your face, taking a bath, carrying objects, performing prayer, engaging in sports, starting work, and going into the sea or pool.

Postoperative Care for Eye Health

Medications provided (eye drops, ointments, tablets, syrups, etc.) should be used as advised by your doctor and for the recommended duration. Do not change, reduce, or stop taking your medications without consulting your doctor. Before applying the eye drops or ointments, the person administering them must wash their hands thoroughly with soap. When applying the medications, ensure that the tip of the dropper or ointment tube does not touch the eyelid, eyelashes, skin, hands, paper, or tissue. Follow-up appointments are scheduled for the 1st day, 1st week, and 1st month after the operation. During this time, the use of eye drops promotes healing and protects against infection. Pay close attention to the warnings and instructions provided by your doctor regarding the postoperative follow-up period and necessary actions.
