Post-Surgery Care
The first 24 to 48 hours after your Smart Lens procedure are a period of adjustment. It is normal to experience some mild redness, a “gritty” sensation, or slight watering. Your vision may be blurry or “foggy” immediately after the surgery, but most patients notice a dramatic improvement in clarity by the next morning. You may also see some vivid colors or “shimmering” as your brain and eye adapt to the new, clear light entering the eye. These are all positive signs that the healing process has begun.
Medication is the most critical part of your recovery at home. You will be prescribed a combination of drops to ensure the eye remains healthy and clear.
It is vital to follow the schedule provided by your doctor exactly. Always wash your hands thoroughly before applying drops and ensure the tip of the bottle never touches your eye. If you have trouble applying the drops yourself, ask a family member for assistance.
To protect the internal structures of the eye while they settle, you must follow certain restrictions for the first week.
Most patients can return to light activities like reading, watching TV, and walking almost immediately, but “high risk” activities must wait until your doctor gives the all-clear.
During the first two weeks, hygiene and protection are essential.
These simple steps significantly reduce the risk of complications and help the microscopic incision heal as quickly as possible.
Your follow-up appointments at Liv Hospital are a vital part of your long term support. Typically, you will have a checkup the day after surgery, then at one week, and again at one month. During these visits, the specialist will measure your eye pressure, check the position of the lens, and track your visual progress. These appointments allow the doctor to catch any minor issues early and ensure that your neuroadaptation process is proceeding smoothly. Skipping these visits increases the risk of undetected inflammation.
Patience is key during the first few weeks. While your distance vision might be sharp right away, your brain needs time to learn how to use the different focal zones of the Smart Lens. This “neuroadaptation” can take from a few weeks to a few months. You may notice halos around lights at night initially, but these typically diminish as the brain learns to process the new visual information. By the three month mark, most patients find their vision has stabilized into a natural and effortless experience.
While serious complications are extremely rare, you must be the first line of defense. Contact Liv Hospital immediately if you experience:
Early intervention for any issue—such as a sudden spike in eye pressure or an early infection—is the key to protecting your surgical result and your sight.
After your eyes have fully healed, the best way to maintain your results is through regular annual eye exams. While the lens itself will not change, other parts of your eye (like the retina and optic nerve) still need to be monitored as you age. Maintaining a healthy diet, protecting your eyes from UV rays, and managing systemic conditions like diabetes will ensure that the beautiful vision provided by your Smart Lens lasts for the rest of your life. We look forward to being your lifelong partner in eye health.

No, the lens has no nerve endings and is placed in a space where there is no sensation; you will never “feel” it.
