Still follow ups are important for 2 main reasons,

- to clear all the doubts of the patient.
- Some of the effects are not noticed by the patient and these should be taken care of in the first few days. The earlier it is treated the better the results.
- Medicines dosage and schedule needs to be changed as the recovery progresses.
- Doubts and questions may be present and these can be answered. When one can resume office or normal routine needs to be answered.
- Glasses will be needed in some cases. The change of glasses needs to be done and this can be done in the follow ups.
