In this informative video, Dr. Ankit Vinayak, Deputy Director - Cataract Services, will guide you on how to take care of your eyes after cataract surgery. It's crucial to follow these instructions to ensure a successful and speedy recovery.
The first precaution highlighted by Dr. Ankit Vinayak emphasizes the importance of cleanliness when it comes to your eyes. He advises against touching your eyes with your hands or using any fabric to clean them. Instead, he recommends using a sterile wipe cleansing routine. Clean hands are essential before performing any eye cleaning. Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. Avoid using any alcohol-based hand rubs, as they can be dangerous for your eyes, especially the operated eye. Dr. Ankit Vinayak also demonstrates how to use a sterile wipe to cleanse the eyes effectively.
Moving on, Dr. Ankit Vinayak explains the significance of eye drops after cataract surgery. He stresses the importance of cleanliness when instilling eye drops. Prioritize clean hands by washing them with soap and water. Dr. Ankit Vinayak demonstrates the proper technique for using eye drops after cataract surgery and discusses the ideal time intervals for administering them.
The video then delves into post-operative dietary habits. After cataract surgery, you can consume a normal diet, including items like lentils, bread, vegetables, rice, yogurt, and milk. However, if you have diabetes or high blood pressure, it's crucial to maintain your prescribed diet and control your sugar levels. Remember to continue taking any medications as prescribed.
Dr. Ankit Vinayak advises against certain activities after cataract surgery. It is important to avoid touching your eyes and preventing any water from entering them. Additionally, refrain from washing your face below the neck for at least one week. These precautions are necessary to prevent any dirt or germs from entering your eyes. Whenever you step outside, it is recommended to wear protective glasses. If you reside in a sunny area, opt for black-tinted protective glasses, while clear protective glasses are suitable for less sunny locations. These glasses serve to shield your eyes from dust and pollutants in the air.
By following these precautions, you can ensure the success of your cataract surgery. Dr. Ankit Vinayak also addresses a common question regarding the recovery time after cataract surgery. The recovery duration depends on the grade of your operation. Generally, you can expect to fully recover within 4-5 days, but it is essential to continue taking precautions for approximately one week. It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed eye drops and attend follow-up appointments after cataract surgery. Typically, there are three follow-up visits - one day, one week, and three to four weeks after the operation. Attending these follow-ups is vital for your overall recovery process.
Dr. Ankit Vinayak concludes by emphasizing that by implementing these guidelines, you can achieve excellent post-operative care and enjoy clear vision once again.
