Yes: Cataract surgery does not affect the ability to wear contact lenses. Although with modern cataract surgery, you may not need contact lenses or glasses afterwards.

Yes CL after CS: Yes, you will most likely have no issues wearing CL after surgery. Lens implants are available to ideally help remove the need for full time glasses/contact lenses. More info: eyedoc2020@blogspot.com
