•    You can get prescription medications and instructions on caring for your eyes.  A follow-up appointment (s) will be arranged and then you go home.  The doctor may give you dark glasses that you use while you ride home in the car.

•    You should relax and let your caregiver give you prescriptions. You will not be allowed to drive yourself.

•    You can also see some dark circles, but this will fade with time

•    Resume your normal daily activities – except for driving – on the first day after the operation, unless your doctor tells you otherwise.

•    Avoid lifting heavy objects, as this may increase pressure inside the eye

•    Do not put cosmetics in your eyes until your doctor tells you to

•    Your eye should recover completely within the first month.

•    The brain will continue to learn to deal with the new lens that was implanted in your eye.

•    If you suffer from dry eyes, you must return to the doctor so that he writes you suitable eye drops for you

•    Go to a follow-up visit after a month.  If you need surgery to remove the cataract in your other eye, it is appropriate to have it done once the first eye has healed.

•    If you get a monofocal lens and haven’t had surgery on the other eye, it’s time to wear new glasses or contact lenses.

•    Test your vision by participating in a variety of activities.  You will get more results as your eyes interact with the brain
