Postoperative cataract care: the Aravind perspective

Abstract

It is essential for us as eye care professionals to make the patient aware that the end of a successful cataract operation is not the end of her or his treatment for cataract. Good postoperative care is as important as the care taken by the surgeon before and during surgery. At Aravind Eye Hospitals, we make a point of stressing good postoperative care, especially since excellent surgery can have a poor outcome if the postoperative care is not adequate.
