You will be asked to apply an antibiotic ointment to the operated site and inside the operated eye 3 times a day for 2 weeks. You will be informed by the nurse taking care of your child when your follow up appointment is due. The bruising will take 2-3 weeks to resolve. Your child will need to be followed up by the Paediatric Ophthalmology Service and so often multiple appointments are required to improve the vision in the eye following the surgery. This may involve patching or spectacles.
