How long does it take to recover from Cataract surgery?

Most patients experience significant improvement in vision within a few days. Cataract eye surgery healing time typically takes about 4 to 6 weeks. During this time, you should follow your surgeons’ instructions, including using prescribed eye drops and avoiding strenuous activities.

What are the differences between traditional cataract surgery and femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery?

Traditional cataract surgery uses ultrasound to break up and remove the cloudy lens, while femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery utilises a laser to make precise incisions and break up the lens before removal. The laser-assisted method can enhance precision and potentially reduce recovery time.
