Brief Answer:
you can take it after 1 week

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

although viagra is not supposed to cause serious problems after cataract surgery, you'd better take it only after at least one week has passed to reduce the risk of increasing ocular pressure. The eye may have increased pressure for a week after surgery (and lower thereafter) and viagra may also cause ocular pressure elevation.

I hope you find my comments helpful!

Kind Regards!
