How long will it take my eye to heal after cataract surgery so i can do the other one?

Healing after cat Sg: Typically 2 to 3 weeks surgery in the other eye can be done as early as 3 days after the first one. There has been recent efforts to consider, bilateral cataract surgery in one setting. What precluded this in the past is the remote possibility of an infection in one eye, that could conceivably affect both eyes.

1-4 weeks: I usually proceed with the second eye 1-4 weeks after the first, as long as the eye is healing well and the patient is happy!
