Post-Surgery Tips from Hardin Valley Eye Center 👁️
Recovery is just as important as your procedure. Follow these key tips to heal safely and comfortably:
🕶️ Protect Your Eyes – Wear the eye shield or sunglasses provided, especially outdoors or while sleeping, as directed by your doctor.
🙅♂️ Don’t Rub or Touch Your Eye – Even if it feels itchy or irritated, avoid touching your eye to prevent infection or injury.
💊 Take Medications as Directed – Use your prescribed eye drops and any other medications exactly as instructed. Don’t skip doses.
🛌 Rest and Take It Easy – Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and bending over for the first few days. Give your body time to heal.
🚿 Keep Water Out of Your Eye – Be careful when showering or washing your face. No swimming or hot tubs until cleared by your doctor.
🚗 Don’t Drive Until Cleared – Wait until your doctor says it’s safe to resume driving.
📞 Watch for Warning Signs – Call your doctor if you notice increased redness, pain, vision changes, or discharge.
