Retinal surgery is one of the most delicate procedures in ophthalmology and requires specific post-operative care to ensure a good recovery. One of the most common doubts patients have is the use of lubricant eye drops after these interventions. After all, is it safe? This article will clarify this issue and provide valuable tips for the correct use of eye drops after eye surgery. • #### The importance of lubricating eye drops after surgery • The use of lubricating eye drops after eye surgery, including retinal surgery, is not only safe but also highly recommended in most cases. During the recovery process, the eyes can experience symptoms such as dryness, irritation and a foreign body sensation, often caused by the eye drops themselves used in the post-operative period, such as anti-inflammatories and corticosteroids. These symptoms can be minimized by using lubricating eye drops. • In addition, keeping the eyes well lubricated can speed up the healing process, contributing to ocular comfort and helping to avoid complications resulting from excessive dryness or sensitivity in the cornea. • #### Essential care when using eye drops • Although lubricating eye drops are indicated, it is essential to follow some recommendations to ensure their effectiveness and avoid risks such as infections: • 1. **Prefer new bottles**: After any eye surgery, it is essential to use eye drops that have not been opened before. Old eye drops, even if they are expired, can contain micro-organisms which, in an operated eye, can cause serious infections such as endophthalmitis. Therefore, buy new bottles to start treatment after surgery. • 2. **Avoid contamination during use**: When applying the eye drops, be careful not to touch the nozzle of the bottle to the eye, eyelashes or eyelids. This prevents the bottle from being contaminated and maintains the sterility of the product. • 3. **Observe the shelf life after opening**: Even if it is a freshly opened bottle, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions on the shelf life of the eye drops after opening. This is usually between 30 and 60 days. • #### Tips for application in specific cases • Some retinal surgeries, such as macular hole or retinal detachment, require the patient to maintain a specific head position in the post-operative period, such as looking down. In these cases, dripping the eye drops can be a challenge, but there are ways to make the process easier: • **Support from another person**: One person can help apply the eye drops by gently pulling on the lower eyelid while the patient maintains the recommended position. • Avoid tilting the head upwards: Always follow the doctor's instructions so that the position of the head does not interfere with recovery. • #### Other benefits of lubricating eye drops • As well as relieving irritation and speeding up healing, lubricating eye drops can also help reduce common post-operative symptoms such as itching, redness and feelings of discomfort. It is also effective in minimizing sensitivity caused by stitches or incisions made during surgery. • #### Why is care so important? • After retinal surgery, the eye is in a very sensitive state and susceptible to complications. Infections such as endophthalmitis, although rare, are serious and can compromise the outcome of the surgery. For this reason, as well as using new eye drops and maintaining hygiene when applying them, it is essential to strictly follow the ophthalmologist's instructions and attend all follow-up appointments. • #### Conclusion • The use of lubricating eye drops after retinal surgery is not only safe, but also highly beneficial. It improves ocular comfort, aids recovery and reduces the unpleasant symptoms that can arise during the healing period. However, safety and efficacy depend on simple precautions, such as using new bottles and avoiding contamination. • This video and its comments are not a substitute for a medical consultation and are for educational purposes only.
