A member asked:
If you have had cataract surgery, how did it affect your ability to work?

Depends: On how severe the cataract was, and therefore on the amount of swelling that results after. May just be a day or two, or can be a couple of weeks in severe cases.

Should not: Cataract surgery should not affect your ability to work. You should be able to return to a normal work schedule and activities in 24-48 hours.
