Immediate Press release Date, Place: Kolkata, 19.2.2025: Pushpanjali Eye Care Hospital is proud to announce the launch of an informative awareness program aimed at educating patients and the general public about preventing infections after cataract surgery. As one of the most commonly performed surgeries worldwide, cataract surgery has helped millions of people restore their vision. However, like all medical procedures, it carries certain risks, including post-surgical infections, which can have serious consequences if not properly managed.

Dr . Prashant Srivastava is the Director of Pushpanjali Eye Care Hospital, which makes an awareness campaign in the hospital for general people and patients specially old age people to get knowledge about post cataract surgery and how doctors can prevent it.

In an effort to ensure patients’ safety and reduce the risk of infections, Pushpanjali Eye Care Hospital is taking a proactive approach by hosting a series of informative sessions. The awareness program will provide valuable insights into the best practices for post-surgical care, with an emphasis on hygiene and following proper medical guidelines.

Cataract surgery, while generally safe and effective, involves the removal of the clouded lens and replacing it with an artificial one. After the procedure, it is essential to follow post-operative instructions meticulously to avoid complications such as infections. Infections can occur if bacteria enter the eye during the healing process, which can lead to discomfort, vision loss, or, in severe cases, the need for additional surgeries.
The key to preventing infections after cataract surgery lies in patient education. The program, spearheaded by Pushpanjali Eye Care's experienced team of ophthalmologists, will cover important topics, including:
Proper Hand Hygiene: Patients will be taught the importance of thoroughly washing their hands before touching their eyes or handling any eye medication.

Eye Care Essentials: The program will demonstrate how to keep the eye clean and safe, as well as what to avoid during the recovery period.

Use of Medication: Patients will receive guidance on how to use prescribed eye drops, antibiotics, and other medications correctly to prevent infections.

Recognizing Early Signs of Infection: Participants will be educated on how to recognize early symptoms of infection, such as increased redness, pain, or discharge, and when to seek medical attention.
Preventing External Contamination: Emphasis will be placed on protecting the eye from dust, smoke, and other environmental pollutants, which can increase the risk of infection.
