Is it ok to use the sunbed after cataracts surgery?

Sure: Some lenses used in cataract surgery do not have uv protection. You will still need to have protective eyewear. Otherwise, there are no contraindications.

Cataract: I typically recommend people take it easy for a few days after surgery. Often times the eye can remain dilated which will let in more light when using a sunbed. I agree with the other poster that eye protection should always be worn when sunbedding.
