Find all the precautions to follow before and after your care, as well as answers to the most frequently asked questions from our patients.
Whether you are having surgery or simply attending a consultation, here are the essential rules to protect your eyes and optimize your results.
Wear protective sunglasses outdoors, even on cloudy days. Prolonged exposure can accelerate the development of cataracts and macular degeneration.
Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 6 metres away for 20 seconds. Use blue light filters.
Stay well hydrated and use artificial tears if you experience dry eyes, particularly in dry climates or following surgery.
Rubbing can distort the cornea, worsen keratoconus and introduce bacteria. If your eyes itch, use antihistamine eye drops.
After surgery, strictly follow your surgeon’s instructions regarding eye drops, protective shields and activity restrictions. Never miss a follow-up appointment.
Even with perfect vision, schedule an annual eye examination. Early detection of glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and macular diseases is essential.
