I would like to know what would happen after a cataract surgery. please explain.

Rest: After cataract surgery, you will wear sunglasses when outside for the first few days, and will avoid vigorous exercise for 2 weeks. Your vision may be a little blurry at first, but will clear over the first week.

Varies: Every doctor is different, and every patient is different and every surgery is different. In my practice, pts are advised no heavy lifting or bending and shield at night for 1 wk, then its return to normal routine (except for underwater swimming). Pts experience vary, many see well even the next day, however some may not see well until new glasses.

Drops: Generally you feel only some slight discomfort in the eye. You will use eye drops and see your eye doctor for regular follow up visits. Talk to you eye doctor for more specifics.

Easy recovery: A litte gritty with minor blurred vision for a few days. Minimal activity restrictions, and need to use eye drops for 2-4 weeks after surgery. Reading glasses to help with near activity, and an easy recovery!

Cataract postop: Some scratchiness and irritation, no pain, rapid visual improvement over a few days to weeks.

Cataract Surgery: The lens: usually clear, behind iris; is like a "pillow in a pillowcase". When cloudy/white & affecting vision, surgery needed. Goal: remove top part of pillow case (anterior capsule), remove pillow (cataract), keep back pillow case intact (posterior capsule), place a new lens; Recovery usually less than 1wk; 10-20% risk need laser after 1st surgery.
