aftercare????

[Beth717]

I had a laser procedure today to correct purtscher's retinopathy, or bleeding in the retinia, with abnormal blood vessels having forn=med and broke.  Is there anything I should or should not do???  I was given no after care instructions, just told to come back in 6 weeks.  My face hurts like a sinus infection, my eye itches like an allergic problem (I'm allergic to all "cains" and they used something with some in it) Can I take motrin?  I asked and was told be back in 6 weeks, no one gave me any instructions of any sort.

I'm allergic to tylenol

tylenol (aceteminophen) should be ok to take. Call the doctor's office for post op instructions.
Generally, it's best to avoid strenuous activities, like lifting heavy objects for atleast a week. But, again, call the doctor's office.
