Patient Care & Journey Guide

A comprehensive visual resource guide outlining pre-examination steps, pre-operative protocols, and post-surgical recovery safety tips.

Pre-Visit Directions

A comprehensive ophthalmic examination is highly thorough and differs significantly from a standard optical shop glasses reading. To ensure a flawless clinical outcome, please follow these basic pre-visit instructions:

1

Prepare old medical folders

Please bring all past prescriptions, systemic medical histories (diabetes, hypertension reports), and current systemic drug lists.

2

Accompanied by a family member

Complete eye evaluations involve applying diagnostic pupil-dilation drops. This blurs your close-up vision temporarily for 2-4 hours, making driving or walking alone dangerous.

3

Bring UV-protected sunglasses

Dilation causes temporary light sensitivity. Wearing dark sunglasses after your examination will keep your eyes extremely comfortable on the journey home.

Absolute avoidance of water entry

Wear the protective eye shield

Wear your clear plastic clinical eye shield during sleep or outdoor journeys for the first week to prevent accidental rubbing or airborne dust contamination.

Sterile eye-drop applications

Wash your hands thoroughly with soap before applying any clinical eye drops. Administer them exactly as scheduled by Dr. Daisy Rani Das, and never share drop bottles.
