What happens right after the procedure?

After the surgery, the person will be taken to the surgery recovery room to be watched closely for a short time. Vital signs, blood pressure, pulse, and breathing will be checked frequently. Occasionally the person may feel nauseated after eye surgery. Medication will be given to control the nausea. Pain medication may be needed for discomfort. An eye patch may be applied following surgery.
