Visual : Visual recovery is usually rapid after cataract surgery. My patients are often able to return to work one or two days after their surgery, depending on the occupation. Normally only one eye is operated on at time, which will leave your vision unchanged in the eye that is not having surgery . Your eye surgeon will be glad to advise you about returning to work. The improvement in vision from cataract surgery should make it all seem worthwhile.

Cataract surgery: The vision typically is improved by 24-48 hours after surgery. For complete healing, it takes 3-4 weeks though.

Vision improves fast: Cataract surgery is a quick and easy procedure from which you can recover.
