Can lower lid surgery be done after cataract removal?

Yes: After you heal completely from your cataract surgery, you can have any other surgery. Be sure to get the clearance from your original cataract surgeon.

Yes safe for Lids!: Most modern cataract surgeries heal quickly with eyes drops to be taken for 4 to 6 weeks. If your vision is stable and the eyes are comfortable , it is safe to have the eyelids ( uppers and/ or lowers ) evaluated. Typically 3 months post op cataract surgery is an appropriate time to wait before lids or other non emergent surgeries around the eye.
