Does cataract surgery require hospitalization?

Patient's question:

I always feel my eyes are particularly blurry, and I can't see anything clearly. After a thorough examination, I learned that it is glaucoma that is causing this, and now laser surgery is required to treat it. I would like to ask if hospitalization is necessary during glaucoma laser surgery?

Doctor's answer:

After undergoing laser surgery for glaucoma, it is necessary to stay in the hospital for a period of close observation. If there are no issues, you can go home to rest. However, it is essential to pay attention and ensure that the eyes do not come into contact with strong light, otherwise it may disrupt the full recovery process. Additionally, in terms of diet, it is important to focus on light and avoid any stimulating foods, as they can affect the effectiveness of the recovery.
