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.
