“Can you read and watch TV after cataract surgery?”
I am a 52 year old male. I want to know if you can read and watch TV after cataract surgery?

Yes, there are no visual restrictions during the healing period after cataract surgery. Your vision may be a bit blurred in that eye for a few days after surgery, and you may need new glasses for your clearest vision. Using eye drops is usually necessary for a few weeks after surgery to promote good healing, and it is best not to rub the eye or get water into it for the first week or two. As always, follow your individual surgeon’s instructions carefully, since not all cases are the same.
I hope this helps.

Yes, unless your eye hurts when watching TV, then reduce the amount of time.

Only if you could before the cataracts, there were no complications from surgery and no other eye diseases developed, such as corneal decompensation, macular degeneration, glaucoma, etc. and the eye is not light sensitive or uncomfortable.
Yes
