can i shower after cataract surgery

Hello! I'm glad to hear your surgery went well. Generally, it's recommended to avoid shower water directly hitting your eyes for a week or two after cataract surgery. You might want to avoid washing your hair or use a shower shield over your eyes.

If water does get in your eyes, don't panic. Try not to rub them. After getting out of the shower, gently blot your eyes with a clean towel. But still, it's really important to try your best to avoid this from happening.

Yes, avoid pressing or poking your eyes and avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activities until your eyes have fully healed. And if you have any specific concerns or notice any changes, don't hesitate to contact your doctor.
