Most light housework can be resumed quite soon after PresbyMAX, while heavier or dusty chores should wait until your eyes feel comfortable. Simple measures keep the environment eye‑friendly.
Light Chores
Everyday tasks are often safe early on.
- Preparing meals, light tidying, and simple washing up are usually fine within a day or two, depending on how you feel.
- Be cautious with hot oil, steam, and cleaning products that might splash near the eyes.
- Use lubricating drops if your eyes feel dry during close work.
- Take regular breaks, especially while you are still adapting to your new vision.
Heavier Cleaning and DIY
Delay tasks that generate dust or require strenuous effort.
- Vacuuming, deep oven cleaning, heavy lifting, and DIY may be postponed for several days to a week or more, following your surgeon’s advice.
- When you restart, consider protective glasses and a mask for dusty jobs.
- Avoid rubbing your eyes if they feel gritty; use drops instead.
- Seek advice if chores trigger pain, redness, or a sudden drop in vision.
