After cataract surgery, it’s essential to avoid certain activities to ensure a smooth and complication-free recovery. Strenuous activities, such as heavy lifting, bending over, or vigorous exercise, should be avoided for at least a week, as they can increase pressure in the eye and interfere with healing. Refrain from swimming or using hot tubs, as water can introduce harmful bacteria, raising the risk of infection.

Avoid rubbing your eyes, even if they feel itchy or irritated, as this can disturb the surgical site or cause complications. To minimize the chance of getting foreign particles in your eye, steer clear of dusty environments and be cautious with makeup or facial products around the eyes. Additionally, it’s wise to limit screen time initially, as too much can cause strain and dryness. By carefully avoiding these activities, you can support a quicker, safer recovery and maintain optimal post-surgery results.
