Post-Surgical Contact Lenses

If you have recently undergone eye surgery, your eye doctor may recommend the use of post-surgical contact lenses as part of your recovery process. These specialized lenses are designed to aid in the healing and protection of your eyes after surgery.

Why Post-Surgical Contact Lenses May Be Necessary

After eye surgery, your eyes are in a delicate state and require extra care to ensure proper healing. Post-surgical contact lenses can play a crucial role in this process. These lenses act as a protective barrier, shielding your eyes from irritants such as dust, debris, and bright lights. They also help to maintain the shape of the cornea and aid in the prevention of infection. By wearing post-surgical contact lenses, you can minimize the risk of complications and promote a faster and smoother recovery.

Different Types of Post-Surgical Contact Lenses

There are various types of post-surgical contact lenses available, and the specific type recommended for you will depend on the nature of your surgery and your eye condition. One common type is the bandage contact lens, which is a soft, therapeutic lens that covers the cornea, providing protection and promoting healing.

Another type is scleral lenses, which is larger and covers a larger portion of the eye, providing enhanced protection and support. Your optometrist will determine the most suitable type of post-surgical contact lens for your individual needs.
