  Your mother do not let you go out because she is afraid that the effects of the surgery may get affected if you go out. But this is already a week after the cataract surgery, you can gradually go out but still need to be very careful. Do not lift heavy things or bend down to pick up things by yourself. Do not rub your eyes. You had better wear a pair of sunglasses to screen the strong light outdoors and screen off the ultraviolet rays in the sunshine. Otherwise, your eyes will easily get damaged again or your iris may even fall out. Remember that the protection and care after the surgery are no less important than the surgery itself, and carelessness may lead to a failed surgery effects.
