I was pretty woozy after my cataract operation and the following day. My left eye aches a little, with occasional more serious aches. In our post-operative consultation my ophthalmologist said that everything I was experiencing was within normal limits and I was cleared to return to my ordinary activities with a few limitations. Eyedrops four times a day. Don’t bend over. Don’t rub your eye.
The vision in my left eye is noticeably better than it was—it’s actually a little better than the eye which hasn’t been operated on. For the next three weeks (at least) I will be in a strange transition world in which my old eyeglasses don’t work for me as well as they once did but changing my prescription would be premature. I’ll probably avoid driving for the duration.
I wouldn’t be doing as well as I am without my loving, supportive wife. She faithfully puts my eyedrops in, is my driver, and reminds me to observe my limitations.
I hope to be able to post a little.
Good to hear. You should steadily improve. It’s such a blessing to have someone there to help. In a lot of our cataract population people are living alone and that makes everything harder.

That’s great to hear! Wonders of modern medicine.
I’m glad to hear your surgery went well. I hope the recovery continues to go well. I remember when I had my first eye done. The world was clear in that eye. Everything had an orange tint in the eye awaiting surgery.
