Cataract surgery is a precise way to protect and preserve your vision. After the procedure, you may experience blurred vision as your eye heals and adjusts. This is normal and should improve within a few days. Generally, it takes around 8 weeks for complete healing.
Some patients may see very well the day after cataract surgery, while others may need up to a month to achieve maximum vision improvement. It is important to carry eye drops in your handbag and apply them during the flight after cataract surgery. At Heart of Texas Eye Care, we provide free consultations for those considering cataract surgery. With our surgical expertise and advanced technology, cataract surgery can be tailored to your unique eyes and is a precise way to protect and preserve your vision.
However, there are some do's and don'ts that people should understand when considering cataract surgery. Once you've completed cataract surgery, you'll be well on your way to a better lifestyle with the visual clarity you've wanted for years. Compared to other notable eye surgeries, recovery time from cataract surgery is relatively quick. Most people can return to work a few days after the procedure, but you must wear a protective eye shield during sleep (including naps) for at least the first week after cataract surgery.
General health, healing capacity, and tolerance to cataract eye surgery can vary from person to person and from eye to eye. Antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eye drops are used in the weeks after cataract surgery to help prevent infections and control inflammation. It is important to ensure that there's a proper balance between the two eyes after cataract surgery. With proper care and attention, patients can enjoy a clearer and brighter vision after successful cataract surgery.
