Leave an eye procedure with an individual written plan: medicines, eye protection, activity restrictions, reviews and urgent contact details. The guidance here helps you ask the right questions; it does not replace the instructions for your eye.
Before you leave the centre
- Know the diagnosis, procedure date and which eye was treated.
- Keep the operation report and details of any lens, gas, oil or injection.
- Check the name, dose and duration of every prescribed drop.
- Confirm the next review and where to seek urgent care.
Recovering in Shiraz
Arrange help with transport, medicines or mobility if needed. Ask about washing, eye protection, work, driving and physical activity. Do not change medicines or copy another patient’s schedule without checking with the clinician.
Symptoms that need prompt help
Increasing or severe pain, a sudden drop in sight, new flashes or many floaters, a curtain-like shadow, or other warning symptoms identified by your team need prompt clinical assessment. Use the eye service’s urgent route or local emergency care rather than waiting for a coordination reply.
Travel after eye surgery
Ask the surgeon for individual travel advice. If gas is present inside the eye, flying is restricted until the eye team confirms it is safe. Keep that information available for other healthcare professionals and do not rely on airline permission alone.
Continue care after returning home
Agree who will review your eye after the visit, how records will be shared with that clinician and how repeat treatment will be arranged if needed. Keep sufficient flexibility for a change in the follow-up plan.
