IOL implantation question

My mother has underdone a IOL implantation surgery. Operation was done 2 years before. But she is bit worried when it comes to washing face and eyes. She takes lot of care to make sure she handle eyes very carefully. Is it ok to have a normal face and eye wash after this surgery. Please advice.

Thanks in advance.

Presumably you're talking about cataract surgery where her natural cataractous lens was removed and replaced with an IOL.  There would be no harm in washing face and eyes normally, as the IOL is inside the eye where her natural lens used to be and won't be disturbed.
