All You Need to Know About Post Cataract Surgery
Care and Recovery

• Cataract is one of the major causes of blindness
  across the globe. It is a condition in which the
  eye lens gets clouded leading to vision loss.
  Cataracts are treated with a surgical procedure
  that uses a laser. It is a simple surgery that
  takes around 10-20 minutes to perform. The
  recovery from your cataract surgery depends on a
  variety of factors. In most cases, if you dont
  have any other major eye problem, the recovery
  period is short and uneventful. In this blog
  post, we will discuss post cataract surgery care
  for faster recovery. Read on.

Time Required for Recovery after Surgery

• The recovery time for patients varies and depends
  on many factors. Generally, you will have blurry
  and cloudy vision when you first remove your eye
  shield after the surgery. Your visual system will
  need time to adjust to the new intraocular lens
  that replaces the natural eye lens. Although many
  patients report clear vision on the same day
  after surgery, it generally takes one to two
  weeks to get sharper and clearer vision and about
  a month to heal completely.

Some Points to Remember for Speedy Recovery

• It is important to keep several important points
  in mind to speed the healing process. After the
  procedure
• Avoid driving on the day of surgery.
• Avoid any strenuous activity such as heavy
  lifting according to the doctors advice.
• If possible, avoid sneezing right after surgery.
• Do not swim or use a hot tub during the first
  week after surgery.
• Avoid touching or rubbing your eyes.
• There are several activities that you can perform
  within a few hours of the procedure such as
  working on a computer, briefly watching TV, and
  bathing. It is also important to follow the
  doctors instructions for the best possible
  cataract surgery recovery
