WHEN TO SEEK HELP

When to seek help without delay

Severe or increasing pain, sudden or worsening vision loss, increasing redness, discharge or marked swelling require prompt contact with your surgical team.

Use the postoperative contact you were given. If you cannot reach your team and symptoms are significant, seek urgent eye care. Do not wait for your scheduled appointment.
