How much pain are you in after cataract surgery.
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Little to none: With modern cataract surgery, most patients are comfortable after surgery. Most discomfort can be managed with over the counter pain meds like tylenol (acetaminophen). If you have more severe discomfort after cataract surgery, call your surgeon immediately for advice...

None: A little scratchiness is to be expected, nothing more.

Pain after surgery: Usually takes 2-3 days for pain to subside after cataract surgery in most cases; sometimes it can take longer if limbal relaxing incisions were created to decrease astigmatism or if one has a history of dry eye or other issues occur during surgery. more info: eyedoc2020@blogspot.com
