After cataract surgery procedure
Can you Watch TV after Cataract Surgery?
Cataract surgery is an outpatient procedure completed in less than one hour. Cataract surgery has a high success rate in improving your eyesight and should allow you to return to your normal activities, like driving, following a few weeks of recovery.
Your cataract surgery recovery begins immediately following your procedure. A light shield will be placed over your eye immediately after surgery to keep you from accidentally rubbing it. Most patients are able to go home within a few hours of the procedure. You will be required to have a friend or family member drive you home following surgery.
During your cataract surgery recovery, it’s normal to experience grittiness, watering, blurred vision, double vision and red or bloodshot eye. These side effects usually improve within a few days, but it can take 4 to 6 weeks to recover fully.
A common question among cataract patients is if they can watch TV after the procedure. Several hours following the surgery, most patients are able to watch some television or look at a computer screen for a short period of time. It’s important however that you don’t over-exert your eyes during the first 24 hours post-surgery.

You can expect to return to most normal activities during the first week. If you work, how soon you can return will largely depend on your type of job and if you need new glasses. Following your surgeon’s instructions regarding what you should and should not do after your cataract surgery are important.
Several follow up appointments will be scheduled during your cataract surgery recovery time. A secondary cataract may develop during the first few months following cataract removal. This is a common complication following cataract removal and can be corrected with a painless procedure called a capsulotomy.
Within a month or two your vision should be clear, and your eyes should be comfortable. You will want to continue wearing sunglasses outdoors and consider wearing safety glasses while playing sports.

اHello dear. This is Iranian Surgery and we are happy to give you information. Indeed, reading your comment was hard and we suggest you contact our Arabic consultant about cataract surgery in Iran and your dear mother. You do not need to worry. After cataract surgery, you should expect her vision to begin improving in a couple of days. Her vision could be blurry at first as her eyes heal and adjust themselves after the procedure. Sometimes you may find that colors seem brighter to her after the surgery because she is looking through a new and more clear lens. Patients usually see well a few days after cataract surgery, but you must know that complete healing can take three months. While you take care of her, make sure she does not wear eye makeup for a month. Traveling with an airplane is also not recorded for those who have just had cataract surgery. Be sure she sneezes not so harshly or vomits after surgery and to avoid pressure increase she should not bend over or keep her head downward.
Salam I have question about eye bluryness it is called cataract and the treatment and what I do to get better
Hello and welcome to Iranian Surgery. A cataract is a disease in which the lens of a person’s eye becomes foggy. In most cases, the disease develops over time and with age. Cataracts are more common in people over the age of 55, but can sometimes occur in infants and children due to trauma or the use of certain medications. At first, the patient may not notice the symptoms of cataracts or cataracts, but gradually develops the blurred vision and has difficulty performing daily tasks such as reading and writing. The positive point is the ability to treat cataracts through surgery and lens replacement.
