A member asked:
How long does it take to recover after an intraocular lens exchange surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lens exchange: If you already had an artificial lens implant placed and this is being exchanged then recovery should be very quick, few days. If your natural lens is removed and an implant placed then recovery is several days to a couple weeks. This is of course assuming that your eye is otherwise healthy. Good luck.
