During the first follow-up visit after a cataract surgery, the physician removed the eye patch placed over the client’s affected eye. What is expected during the first few days after removal of the eye patch?

Blurring of vision
Eye redness and itchiness
Eye discharges
Sensitivity to light

Explanation

Answer: A - After the patch is removed, the client must expect blurred of vision during the first few days to several weeks. The blurring of vision is caused by the sutures made in the eye. If vision does not improve over several weeks, the client must notify the physician. It would take 6-12 weeks before vision is completely restored. Corrective lenses are prescribed.
