Cataract Surgery Vision Recovery: How Long Until Clear Sight?

Blurred vision is normally expected in the initial phase following cataract surgery and usually gets corrected in 2-6 weeks once the operated eye heals completely. This may vary from person to person based on how fast they heal. Additionally, you might also need to wait till your eye drops wear off.

During some circumstances, your doctor may use an eye patch that might be removed within several hours after surgery or the next day. When removed, your vision may still be very blurry.
