The physician should be notified if increasing pain in the operative eye occurs, as this could indicate complications such as infection or increased intraocular pressure. Normal activities often need to be limited initially to prevent strain on the eye, aphakic glasses are not needed with intraocular lens implantation, and normal vision may take time to stabilize after surgery.
