VIVA – Operation cataract eye Laser surgery (phacoemulsification) is said to be the most effective treatment for cataracts. Generally, this procedure is short and there is minimal risk of complications. Even so, some side effects may be experienced after undergoing cataract surgery procedures.
Ophthalmologist Siloam Hospitals Buton, dr. Yosylina Pramudya Wardhani Sp.M., said, after cataract surgery, the eye organs will generally feel uncomfortable, or look red for several days.
“This is normal during the healing period. Usually, these symptoms will disappear and the patient’s vision will return to clear within 6-8 weeks,” he said during a live on Instagram about health education talk titled ‘Cataract Surgery with Laser’, Sunday 19 December 2021.
Doctor Yosylina advised, do not wash or touch the eyes or swim. Avoid dust or smoke even straining, coughing or sneezing too hard.
“And immediately contact the doctor if there are other symptoms, such as infection, nausea and vomiting, severe pain, and excessive light sensitivity,” he said.
Yosylina further explained, so that the recovery process after cataract surgery goes well, there are several treatment steps that can be taken, including taking medication regularly accompanied by a minimum of three days of total rest and regular check-ups with the doctor.
