Many patients wonder whether they can continue fasting after eye surgery such as LASIK, SMILE Pro, or cataract surgery. This is an important concern because recovery requires special care.

In general, patients can continue fasting after eye surgery as long as their physical condition is stable and oral medication is not required during the day. Most post operative treatments involve eye drops that work locally on the eye.

Eye drops do not invalidate fasting because they do not significantly enter the digestive system. Patients can therefore fast while continuing recovery treatment.

Proper hydration is essential to support healing. Ensure adequate fluid intake during suhoor and iftar to prevent dehydration that may slow recovery.

Adequate rest is equally important. Lack of sleep can cause dryness and eye fatigue. Aim for sufficient sleep after night prayers to support healing.

Avoid heavy activities, dusty environments, and excessive screen use during the early recovery period. These precautions help reduce irritation and speed up healing.

If oral medication is prescribed or weakness occurs, consult your doctor about continuing fasting. Every patient has unique health conditions, so decisions should be personalized.

With proper care, patients can observe Ramadan comfortably while ensuring optimal eye recovery.
