    After Cataract Surgery

    A cataract surgery regimen frequently lasts not more than an hour. It is usually painless. Most of the time, individuals who undergo cataract surgery select to be awake during the procedure, although there are some who would rather be put to sleep for a short time. On the other hand, if the patient chooses to be awake, the patient would be given an anesthetic to numb the nerves that surround the eyes. A "lid speculum" will then hold the patient's eye. The regimen is usually not uncomfortable. In after cataract surgery the patient would be given an eye shield to be placed over the eye. In some after cataract surgery effects, the patient will experience some increase sensitivity to light and a minute amount of fluid will sometimes discharge from the eye. The fluid discharge is also average in after cataract surgery. After cataract surgery the patient may experience slight discomfort but this will decrease and disappear completely within the next few days. Itching and mild discomfort is normal. Most patients usually go home right away after the surgery regimen although the patient is restricted from driving.
    Immediately after surgery the doctor will itinerary the patient for exams to follow up on the patient's progress. The patient is then prescribed with some eye drops or antibiotics to aid increase the restoring process. Once the dressing on the eye is removed the patient is advised to wear the eye shield when sleeping to protect the eye from injuries and damages.

    * Avoid strenuous exercises for two to three weeks after cataract surgery procedure.
    * Avoid manual labor two weeks after cataract surgery.
