When can i start being active again after a cataract eye surgery?

Depends on activity: This will depend somewhat on the type of cataract surgery performed and if there were any complications of the surgery. Generally modern cataract surgery is performed through a very small incision and you can resume normal activities within a week or so. You could return to walking for exercise with eyewear as protection (or a shield) . It is never a good idea to engage in any rough activities.

Depends: It really depends on the technique used by the surgeon and the surgeon's preference. We do not allow our patients to get the eye wet for one week and no swimming for 2 weeks. Other than that, we do not limit our patients' activities. Ask your surgeon for the specific requirements.
