Mr Mohyudin After Your Surgery
Recovery guidance and what to expect following your procedure
The First 24–48 Hours
Some blurring, mild discomfort, watering, and light sensitivity are normal immediately after surgery — these settle quickly. Use the prescribed eye drops exactly as directed. For most procedures you may eat, drink, and sleep normally. Avoid touching or rubbing the eye. A protective shield may be provided to wear at night to prevent inadvertent rubbing during sleep.
Eye Drops
A combination of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drops is prescribed for most procedures. It is important to use the drops for the full course even once vision improves and the eye looks normal. Mr Mohyudin's team provides a written drop schedule — if you have any questions about your drops, contact the clinic.
Driving & Work
Driving: after cataract surgery, driving can resume once your visual acuity in both eyes meets the DVLA standard (typically within a few days to 2 weeks). Do not drive until formally assessed. Office work and light activity: usually possible within 2–5 days depending on the procedure. Strenuous exercise and swimming: avoid for 4 weeks after most intraocular procedures.
Follow-Up Appointments
Follow-up appointments are arranged at 1 week and 4–6 weeks post-surgery as standard, with additional visits if clinically indicated. All routine follow-up appointments are included in your surgical package price. If you develop sudden loss of vision, severe pain, increasing redness, or any symptom that concerns you, contact the clinic immediately or go to your nearest eye casualty.
When to Seek Urgent Help
Contact Mr Mohyudin's clinic or go immediately to Eye Casualty (Huddersfield Royal Infirmary) if you experience: sudden severe pain in the operated eye; sudden significant loss of vision; increasing redness or swelling; purulent (yellow/green) discharge; or any other symptom causing concern. Do not wait for a scheduled appointment if you are worried — prompt review is always preferable.
