cataract surgery how soon to go home
Moving to the Recovery Room After Cataract Surgery. After your surgery for cataracts is complete, you will be moved to a recovery room, where you will be monitored closely as you recover from the anesthesia. You will be kept here until your healthcare providers feel that you have recovered enough to go home, usually within an hour or so. Depending on whether a numbing injection was used, you may have a patch on your eye after surgery.
