A fundus examination is also performed to check the back of the eye for any illness. It will be difficult to see for 3-4 hours on the day, so you cannot drive your own car to visit the hospital. Please note that it will be difficult to see your hands.
④Related to vitamins

⑤Antibiotic eye drops for surgery
Please apply eye drops 3 days before surgery. Please come to the hospital after instilling twice on the day of surgery. These eye drops are important for preventing infectious diseases.

After surgery, wear contact lenses to protect the corneal surface. Check that the wound has healed and do not remove it yourself until your doctor removes the lens. You can go home with the protective glasses provided by our hospital.
⑦Regular examination
In addition to the medical examination the day after the surgery, we will perform the examination 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after the operation.
After this, we recommend that you have a medical examination once a year.
* Depending on the progress of surgery, you may be asked to visit other hospitals.
