Question:
Can I use eye exercises to expedite healing after cataract surgery? My vision is worse in the operated eye after six days.
Answer:
People may have blurry vision after cataract surgery for a variety of reasons. In many cases the vision improves with time and healing or with corrective lenses (glasses or contact lenses). Unfortunately, there are no eye exercises that will speed up this process. You should discuss your concerns about your vision with your cataract surgeon, who should be able to explain why your vision seems worse if it has not improved by this point. If your vision is actually worsening in the first week after surgery, this could be a sign of a problem so please call your surgeon now to discuss your symptoms.
