What does Cataract surgery aftercare include?

Cataract surgery typically lasts around 10 minutes, and after the procedure, it is essential to have someone drive you home. To protect your eye, a shield will be placed, particularly during the night.

After the surgery, you might experience temporary cloudy, blurry, or distorted vision, and your eyes may appear red and bloodshot, but these effects usually fade within a few days. Many patients report improved vision within a few hours of the surgery. However, individual healing times vary, and it may take up to a week or two before you experience the sharpest focus on images.

After the cataract surgery, you’ll have a follow-up appointment with your surgeon the day after the procedure to ensure there are no complications. If you notice no improvement in blurry vision or experience significant discomfort in the days following the visit, you should promptly inform your surgeon.

Following the doctor’s instructions for cataract surgery aftercare is crucial for a quick and easy recovery. This may involve using prescribed eye drops and medications. Additionally, there is a post-cataract surgery program called RevitalVision that aims to improve vision. It consists of 30 training sessions conducted at home on your computer and does not require additional surgery, drugs, or cause side effects.
