Advice re Recovery post cataract surgery

Thanks for the encouragement shandy, I do appreciate it.

Wishing your husband the best recovery, patience is key - and absolutely no lifting or driving until signed off.

I had a squint op as a kid in the 60's which involved surgery and remember cycling gaily around Moorfields Eye Hospital on the horse - it was a completely different kettle of fish when I had it done again at 36! I was on the sofa for weeks. Any eye op is a major trauma, and being older, we don't heal as quickly and easily. I hope you can fill your time with pleasant things whilst he recovers.

Thanks rascal, am glad it has all
gone so well. Maybe we are just impatient to go out and about now we can and he doesn’t seem to be getting much better.

I had first cataract op on 26th January then second one on 26th April. They were a bit uncomfortable for the first few days so took Paracetamol. Was on eye drops regime for both which helped. I've now got two 'bionic' eyes so well worth it. Within six weeks I will be able to have eyes tested and be able to get new reading glasses.
I hope your husband feels better soon. With best wishes
