Can I drive after cataract surgery?
It is advisable not to drive on the day of your cataract surgery. It’s better to ask someone to pick you up after cataract surgery and drive you home safely. The vision usually improves within 24 hours of cataract surgery. While legally, nothing is stopping you from moving as soon as your vision is within legal limits for driving, it is advisable to give yourself time to adjust to your change in vision.
