Post-Cataract Surgery Care Instructions

Develop post-cataract surgery patient care instructions for [timeframe: first 24 hours/first week/first month/complete recovery period]. Surgery details: [standard phaco/FLACS/combined procedure/second eye timing]. IOL type: [monofocal/toric/multifocal/extended depth of focus]. Create: medication schedule with proper drop instillation technique, activity restrictions and gradual return to normal activities, warning signs requiring immediate contact, expected visual recovery timeline, posterior capsule opacification information for future, driving resumption guidance, follow-up appointment schedule, glasses update timeline discussion, and adaptation to new vision (especially for premium IOLs). For co-managed patients, include: optometrist vs. surgeon contact guidance, post-op visit protocols, and refraction timing. Address expectations for [reading vision/night symptoms with multifocals/residual refractive error].
