How long does it take to Recover after Lens Replacement Surgery?
Most patients notice significantly improved vision by the morning after Lens Replacement Surgery during their post-operative check-up. Because both eyes are typically treated on the same day, recovery is often quicker and more convenient than having two separate procedures.
During the first few days, mild irritation, light sensitivity and fluctuating vision are normal. Vision usually continues to improve and stabilise during the first week, with most patients returning to office work and normal daily activities within 2–3 days.
