CL after cataract:: Yes, contact lenses can be used after cataract surgery (CS), though our goal is to try to help patients be glasses free if possible. With new premium lenses, there is a better chance glasses/contact lenses will not be needed after CS, though still not 100% guarantee; thus if there is residual astigmatism, near/farsightedness, glasses &/or CL can still be used.
