3 Things to Know about Your Eye Surgery

• Avoid any activity that will increase your blood pressure or add pressure to your eyes. This includes heavy lifting, bending at the waist, and even walking at a brisk pace. Take it easy during the first few weeks after surgery and build up to these activities as your eyes heal.
• You can expect a fast improvement in your eyesight, but that does not mean the healing is complete. Many people are so excited about the drastic improvement after the surgery that they overwork their eyes. Remember to take it easy physically and mentally and give your eyes time to adjust and build skills. You just had surgery and too much action can cause soreness and pain.
• Do not plan a vacation or get into the pool right after your surgery. One week of no swimming is the general rule to avoid infection and pressure to the eye. You should also protect your eyes from the sun by wearing UV protectant shades when outdoors or even in bright rooms for the first week after surgery.
