After cataract surgery, it is generally advisable to use prescribed eye drops as instructed by your ophthalmologist. These drops are often essential for ensuring proper healing and preventing infection. Since your surgery in October 2024, it's good to hear that your vision has improved to 90%. However, your significant laptop use—up to 80% of your work—can contribute to eye strain and discomfort, even after surgery.
In Ayurveda, the emphasis is on maintaining eye health through balanced lifestyle practices. Ensure you are using your eye drops as directed, especially if they are lubricating or anti-inflammatory in nature, to keep your eyes moist and comfortable. To further support your vision and reduce strain, consider taking regular breaks using the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.
Incorporating eyewash with triphala water or plain cold water can also be soothing for your eyes. Additionally, consuming foods rich in antioxidants, such as carrots, spinach, and blueberries, can help promote eye health. If you experience any discomfort, blurry vision, or other unusual symptoms, consult your ophthalmologist promptly. It’s essential to follow their guidance for post-operative care and any long-term eye health strategies.

Eyedrops after cataract surgery can be really important. Actually, doctors often recommend them to help with healing and to prevent any infections. They could be antibiotic drops or perhaps anti-inflammatory ones, pretty common to assist with recovery. But, you know, your doctor's instructions matter a lot here, since they knows your specific situation best.
With all that laptop work you have, remember staring at screens can cause digital eyestrain or fatigue. It's good to take short breaks, like every 20 minutes, just look away from screen at something far for about 20 seconds. This is called the 20-20-20 rule and really easy to do but can make a big difference, trust me.
Now, from an Ayurvedic perspective, also consider incorporating some triphala in your routine. It's said to support eye health. You might take it with warm water before bed. And, don't overlook sleep! That's when the body - and eyes - rejuvenate. Rested eyes are less strained eyes.
A bit on diet - carrots, leafy greens, and berries are super for eye health, plenty of vitamin A there, which nourishes the eyes from within. And, ghee, according to Ayurveda, supports the nervous system and lubricates tissues, including eyes. Maybe a teaspoon in your diet could help.
Keep in mind your dosha balance too. If you're feeling out of sorts, it might be worth looking into whether vata, pitta, or kapha are off balance. Sometimes our lifestyle or diet can gently bring things back to harmony.
Always prioritize your doctor's advice, especially considering your surgical history. Ayurvedic tips can be supportive, but should be a partner to medical guidance, not a substitute. With clear communication and the right practices, you can keep that clear vision it sounds like you're already on your way there.
