How Much Rest Is Recommended After Cataract Surgery?

Hi, I know its important to know all the facts and conditions of each patient, but on the average how long before I can go back to work following cataract surgery? I am speaking about the surgery that involves crumbling the lens, suck it out, and replacing it with a new plastic lens.

Thanks...

Hello
It seems from the history that you have undergone cataract surgery. Normally I advice a rest of 15 days following surgery before they resume head bath and their out door activities. This is for normal post operative course after cataract surgery and of course it may increase if there are any complications in the post operative period.

Thank you
