Timeline for Cataract Surgery Recovery
After cataract surgery, you should let your eyes rest for a couple of hours. After that, it is possible to use your eyes for watching TV or using digital devices. The key is to avoid using your eyes excessively. Make sure to monitor any problems with your eyes after the procedure. Some issues would occur up to 1 week after cataract surgery include blurry vision, eye bruising, bloodshot or red eyes, mild sensitivity to light, burning or itching eyes, or eye discomfort. You can ease these symptoms with antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eye drops. [3]
