Eye Institute What activities should be avoided after cataract surgery?Avoid rigorous exercise and activities that require heavy lifting for a couple of weeks to lower the chances of increasing your eye pressure. “High eye pressure can interfere with the incision before it fully heals,” says Eghrari.
Which of the following nursing intervention is avoided in a post cataract patient?Answer: C. Avoid bending his or her head below the waist.
Are there activity restrictions after cataract surgery?We recommend that you avoid any exercise for at least one week after cataract surgery. Any discomfort and tenderness from the surgery will settle within a few days and you can begin with some light to moderate exercise such as walking or stretching.
