[Eyerium Eye Clinic] #ImplantableLensSurgery Q&A4: Curious about #ImplantableLensSurgeryRecoveryPeriod Aftercare #ImplantableLensSurgeryDrChoiJinYoung

🙋🏻‍♀️ : #LensImplantation #ICLLensImplantation
How long is the recovery period? When can I start exercising and wearing makeup?
I'm also curious about post-operative care!

🧑🏻‍⚕️ #EyereumOphthalmologyDirectorChoiJinYoung :
The most important thing is that you must not shower for 3 days after the bilateral surgery is completed.

👉🏻 Showering is possible after 3 days from the day of bilateral lens implantation surgery completion.

Things get a bit easier after the shower restriction period.
Light exercise is usually possible after one week.

Be careful not to let water directly touch your eyes. For strenuous exercise, it's generally best to be cautious for 2 weeks.

However, combat sports where your eyes could be directly hit should always be avoided.

For eye makeup, it's advisable to be careful for about a week.

👉🏻 3 days post-surgery: Shower, face wash, basic makeup OK. *Please be careful not to let water get into your eyes!
1 week post-surgery: Light exercise (e.g., weight training, jogging), eye makeup OK.
2 weeks post-surgery: Alcohol consumption, strenuous exercise (e.g., ball sports) OK.
