When can you exercise after cataract surgery?

Cataract surgery is an intraocular procedure, so recovery can take a little bit longer than laser surgery.

We encourage you to take it easy for the first week after cataract surgery. After one week, you’re able to go for walks, play golf, drive, and enjoy all those normal activities.

If you have any questions or would like to speak with one of our friendly experts regarding cataract surgery, you can book an appointment online, or give us a call on 03 9070 5788 and we’ll assist you.
