Question My dad had catarac surgery on Feb. 4th. The patch was taken off on Friday and he is completely blind. No shawdows, just blackness. The doctor thinks its swelling. Is this something that sometimes happens? How long does it last. I know that they gave him some drops.
Can you answer my question?
Thank you!!

Answer Dear Colete Judy
normally immediately aftercataract surgery patients can see well within 48-72 hours but if there is some swelling due to surgery it takes time for vision to recover maybe taking 2-3 weeks for swelling to settle but it depends on what type of swelling in cornea or retina so kindly ask your ophthlamlologist what type of swelling and then reveret back to me
thanking you
personal regards
