After surgery
people usually go home and rest for the remainder of the day.
The first day after surgery your doctor may perform a brief post-operative
evaluation.
Eye drops are used to promote healing. The eye must be kept clean
and protected from injury. For one week a shield is worn over
your eye at night to protect it.
You may usually
resume normal activities including work, shopping, driving, hobbies,
gardening, and most athletic activities immediately. Activities
or athletics requiring excessive strain should be done with care.
Your vision may be quite good immediately or may require a week
to clear. What glasses you may need are prescribed two weeks
after surgery used for the original cataract surgery.
