How long does it take for vision to stabilize after cataract surgery?

I am a 63 year old female. I want to know how long does it take for vision to stabilize after cataract surgery?

About 1 month on average.
There is no universal amount of time that everyone's vision is stable after cataract surgery. If the patient does not have significant pre-existing eye conditions, and an uneventful surgery, the vision after cataract surgery is improved and stable within 2-4 weeks.
Typically about a month but can be longer if eye is dry.
Within several days
The majority of your visual recovery is usually less than two weeks, but it can vary depending on each unique case.
Best of success!

You will see very well in 1 week and will be totally healed by 3 weeks.
