When can you exercise after premium cataract surgery?

In this video, Dr. Erik Chotiner explains when you can exercise after premium cataract surgery

The day after premium cataract surgery, light exercise such as walking may resume immediately. Strenuous lifting or activity should be held for five days. I typically tell patients to avoid swimming for 4 weeks post-operatively.

If you’re really serious about clear vision and reducing or eliminating your dependence on corrective eyewear, then this is the ideal next step. Not only will it give you the certainty you need regarding the best treatment for you, but it’s also free.
