5 days post cateract surgery. my distance vision is clear. how long does it take for scratchy and itchy feeling to subside?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cataract surgery: Having just had the same surgery, it can take up to 6 weeks I am told. You had your suture removed, correct? Also there can often be some inflammation from other causes such as infection or allergy, so let your doctor know about this.
