After surgery, the eye is usually red or inflamed for a few days or weeks. Therefore, patients must use anti-inflammatory and antibiotic drops for some time to avoid infections and counteract the inflammation.
It is most common that for the first few weeks after the procedure, the patient has blurred vision and notices discomfort. This is associated with the fistula created or the sutures in it.
Like in the majority of eye procedures, the patient should stop practicing intense physical activities for the first few weeks after and we advise taking life easy and not exerting oneself for the best post operative period. Time off work depends on the job the patient does.
