Cataracts make it difficult for you to see normally. They distort your vision and prevent you from carrying out routine tasks like driving at nighttime or reading the newspaper.
Rather than live with these growths on your eyes, you can have them surgically removed. You can get through the surgery with more peace of mind by knowing what to anticipate during your upcoming recovery from cataract surgery in Honolulu.
Using Antibiotic Eye Drops
During the recovery from this surgery, you will be required to use antibiotic eye drops. The eye drops prevent your eyes from becoming infected while they heal. They also ensure that the incisions in your eyes heal quickly.
You can administer the drops yourself as long as you can tolerate putting medicine in your eyes. Otherwise, you will be advised to have a friend or family member administer the drops for you. You must use the drops twice a day or as recommended by your surgeon or pharmacist.
Avoiding Sunlight
You also will be advised to avoid exposing your eyes to direct sunlight as they heal. Your eyes will sensitive to light. You can protect them by wearing sunglasses when you are out in public or by only going out at nighttime.
