Golf after Cat Surg: Cataract surgery has advanced tremendously in the last few decades. Depending on risks & intraoperative issues & how aggressive a golf player one is, most patients can play golf within a few days (2d: if just putting-7ds more involved) after surgery (wearing sunglasses, hat, taking drops); usually we will ask pts not to bend at the waist or lift heavy objects 5-7 days after surgery.
