General information. Follow the individual instructions from your treating team. These pages do not prescribe treatment or replace an examination.
What you may notice
Dilation can blur your vision temporarily. Ask the team what changes to expect after your treatment.
Care at home
Use any prescribed medication as directed and attend the pressure check or follow-up arranged for you.
Follow-up & recovery
New flashes, a sudden increase in floaters, a shadow or curtain, severe pain or reduced vision require urgent assessment.
Before returning to activities
Ask your team about washing, bathing, swimming, exercise, driving, work, contact lenses, makeup and any eye protection. Confirm your follow-up and who to contact if no appointment arrives. Feeling better does not replace the planned review.
Seek urgent help
Sudden or worsening vision, severe or increasing pain, increasing redness or swelling, or new flashes or a curtain over vision need urgent assessment. Do not wait for your next appointment or a WhatsApp reply.
