Re: Cataracts
Most of the time it works well... One of the old ladies I cared for had it done... She told me 'I nearly died of fright, when I went into the bathroom,, there was a wrinkeld old hag looking at me...Then I realised it was the mirror'
She was a laugh.
My neighbour says his op didnt work but he had the surgery put on dark glasses and drove home..Luckily its only about 1/2 a mile.
Within days he was out fixing the car doing odd jobs and genrally carrying on as normal , he didnt use the drops he was given because he said that stung well the result is that he needs to go back into hpspital , he says they messed up we all know it wasnt the hospital it was him the stubborn old goat..
Rules in general are..
Don't drive on the first day.
Don't do any heavy lifting or strenuous activity for a few weeks.
Immediately after the procedure, avoid bending over, to prevent putting extra pressure on your eye.
If at all possible, don't sneeze or vomit right after surgery.
Be careful walking around after surgery, and don't bump into doors or other objects.
To reduce risk of infection, avoid swimming or using a hot tub during the first week.
Don't expose your eye to irritants such as grime, dust and wind during the first few weeks after surgery.
Don't rub your eye, which is a good idea even when you aren't recovering from surgery.
Use the lubricating eye drops that your doctor gives you.
