You will see your physician in the clinic the day following surgery. You will then need to be checked periodically during the next 3 months. Your physician will determine how frequently you will need to return. Vision may be blurred in the operated eye right after surgery. It should gradually improve as healing progresses.
Many patients see better within a few days.
Between 4 and 12 weeks after surgery your physician will prescribe a new lens for your glasses. How soon you return to work depends on your work activities, your comfort, and your vision. Some people with desk jobs can return in a few days. Other people are off work for a few weeks. For the first several days after surgery, you should avoid any activities involving a possible direct blow to the eye.
