What is recovery like after cataract removal in a child?

Doctor's Answer

Recovery period varies from person to person depending on how simple or complicated the surgery was as well as the age and general health of the patient. The typical duration for physical recovery would usually be 1 month, provided there is no complication before, during and after the surgery. However, other aspects of recovery such as visual recovery may take slightly longer. Do speak to the eye surgeon to better understand the recovery process for your daughter.
