Cooking after cataract surgery requires some adjustments to ensure your eyes remain protected and can heal without disruption. In the first few weeks post-surgery, avoid exposure to heat, steam, and smoke, as these can cause irritation and discomfort. Using protective eyewear while cooking can help shield your eyes from splatters and prevent accidental rubbing. Be cautious when bending down or lifting heavy pots, as these movements can increase eye pressure and strain. It’s also best to limit tasks that require extended focus, like chopping or intricate food prep, until your vision stabilizes. Additionally, maintaining a clean cooking space minimizes the risk of dust or particles getting into your eyes. With these precautions, you can safely enjoy cooking while supporting your recovery journey. https://healthywz.com/cooking-after-cataract-surgery/
