Blurry Vision After Cataract Surgery
It is common to experience blurry vision for a few days after cataract surgery as the eye heals and adjusts to the new intraocular lens. Mild swelling, temporary dryness, or inflammation can affect vision during the recovery period. Most patients notice gradual improvement within a few days to a few weeks. However, if blurred vision persists, it may be due to residual refractive error, dry eye, swelling of the retina (cystoid macular edema), or a condition called posterior capsule opacification, which can be easily treated with a quick laser procedure. Sudden vision loss, severe pain, increasing redness, or flashes of light require immediate evaluation by an eye specialist. At Focus Eye Clinic, Thane, Dr. Mohini Modak provides comprehensive post-cataract surgery care, ensuring proper healing and the best possible visual outcome. Regular follow-up visits, prescribed eye drops, and protecting the eye from dust and injury are essential for a smooth recovery and clear vision.B
