Apr 1, 2018 · You will need to use eye drops for 4 weeks after your operation to help the eye heal and prevent infection. You will have a telephone assessment, by our nursing staff, a week following cataract surgery (for both first and second eye operations).
At 4 weeks you will normally have completed the last of your eye drops. Your eye will look normal again and you will be ready to see your optician to be measured for new glasses. Your vision should be better than before your operation, particularly with your new glasses.
However, it’s very important that you take it easy and rest for the first two or three days following the operation. During this time, avoid doing strenuous activities, such as housework or exercise after cataract surgery. This will give your eyes the time they need to heal.
