The results of cataract surgery are typically noticeable immediately after the procedure. Most patients experience clearer vision within a day or two, with further improvement over the following weeks as the eye heals. While some patients may experience slight blurriness or discomfort in the days after surgery, these symptoms usually subside as the eye heals.
In most cases, the results of cataract surgery are permanent, and patients enjoy improved vision for many years. Regular follow-up appointments ensure that the eye is healing well and that the intraocular lens is functioning properly. The majority of patients find that their vision is dramatically improved, and they no longer need to rely on glasses for daily activities.
