Overview

After Cataract Surgery — educational image

Use your prescribed drops exactly as directed and keep follow-up appointments. Protect the eye from rubbing, dusty environments and water entry for the period advised. Mild grittiness and watering are common in the first days.

Contact the clinic urgently for increasing pain, increasing redness, sudden drop in vision, or flashes and floaters — these are uncommon but should never be watched at home.
