How long should a person who had a cataract operation be exposed to sunlight?

Personal tolerance: Removal of a cataract generally admits much more light into the eye with the obstruction out of the way. There is a period of adaptation in which the eye develops comfort in brighter light situations. The exposure time is personal and your eyes will "tell" you when light is too bright. This is a good time to use your sunglasses.

Sunlight p CS: Sunlight after cataract surgery should be limited depending on type of implant placed: most protect against UV but some do not. Sun can damage macular tissues so check with your eyeMD to discuss how strict sunglasses/hat use should be. In general most eyeMDs recommend protection from sun for majority of patients most of hours of day +/-. More info eyedoc2020@blogspot.com
