Cataracts Treatment

My mother got operated for Cataract and hard plastic lense was used instead of soft .(The decision was made by surgeon).

I have been told that the only difference is that the patients with hard lense take longer time to recovery and otherwise they both are of same quality — Is that correct ?

Also – - How much time does it take for a person to recover to remove the bandage on the eye., open it for the vision check.

Looking for time frame after a vitrectomy for eye to be healed to do other possible lens surgery.

I will probably need one in the near future (next few months) and wanted to know anyone who has recently undergone same (not their grandparents or parents). The field test shows some pre-glaucoma condition in my right eye and a loss of peripheral vision. Also have some eye burning and what feels like a sinus headache in the socket due to the pressure.

I will be having cataract surgery next month and I know this will be covered in the pre-op consult, but I’m getting very anxious about it. For anyone who has already gone through this, how long does it take before you can see anything out of the eye that is operated on?

Thank you for any comments!!!

I’m having a cataract removed on my R eye in 2 weeks. What is the normal/avg. recovery time. My job requires lifting, a lot of standing/walking, bending over. I know i won’t do any of this for a short while, but when can i return to work doing light duty, like cerical? Then back to normal work?
