Dr. Yannis Kolettis from Illinois Eye Center explains the recovery process after cataract surgery. Once you leave the surgery center, your rest and use of medicated eye drops will play a key role in your healing. Expect some normal post-surgery symptoms like vision fluctuations, halos, and mild discomfort, which will improve with time. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help with discomfort, and you’ll have a follow-up appointment the next day to ensure proper healing. With full recovery taking about a month, you’ll notice improvements in your vision within days. Reach out to us anytime with questions or concerns.
