You will be able to use your eyes the next day after having lens surgery, but it will take about one to three months before you can return to long-term eye use.
Lens surgery allows you to use your eyes the next day. During the procedure, two incisions will be made at the junction of the sclera and cornea, and it will take about one to three months for these two incisions to heal. Patients who recover faster may be able to use their eyes for a long time in one month, while those who recover slower will need about three months before they can return to long-term use of their eyes.
Patients should avoid water in the eyes for 15 days after the surgery, and should not rub the eyes too hard. They should take care of their eyes under the doctor’s professional guidance, and try to avoid eye injuries or impacts.
Conduct regular checkups and seek immediate medical attention if any discomfort occurs to avoid delays.
