Generally you will need a week to 2 weeks to recover from cataract surgery. During this initial post-operative period, we will check your eyes a couple of times and make sure you are recovering well and taking the eye drops as instructed. A longer period of 2- 4 weeks may be required if you need to undergo vitrectomy surgery. You will be on eye drops or may need to posture face-down as part of your post vitrectomy recovery.
If you undergo laser procedures in the rooms, we will advise how much time you need off to recover, based on the type of laser procedure you have.
