Long-term follow-up visits after eye surgery help monitor healing, check visual outcome, and detect late complications.
What happens at follow-up appointments
The team will assess your vision, eye pressure, and overall eye health. Tests depend on the type of surgery you have had.
- Vision and refraction checks help fine-tune any glasses prescription
- Eye pressure measurements monitor for glaucoma or pressure changes
- Slit-lamp examination looks at wounds, lenses, and the ocular surface
- Scans or visual field tests may be performed when needed
Why ongoing review matters
Some surgery results remain stable for years, while others need periodic adjustment. Regular review keeps small issues from becoming larger problems.
- Attend all recommended appointments, even if vision seems good
- Report new symptoms between visits rather than waiting
- Ask about lifestyle, work, and driving guidelines as your eyes settle
- Keep an up-to-date list of your operations and medications for future care
