You should be fine, if you have any concerns i would consult a doctor. I am sure they would have told you after surgery you shouldent use such and such.

Answer by Kayla
You will probably have to wear one right after to protect you from any light. Your eyes are going to be quite sore and sensitive afterward.

Question by Police Officer: I prefer to wear external glasses. Is Cataract surgery possible without implanting synthetic lens?

During cataract surgery, a patient’s cloudy natural lens is removed and replaced with a synthetic lens to restore the lens’s transparency

No. Cataracts are a protien build up on the lens and they can’t take the natural lens out, remove the protein and then reinsert. I just had cataract surgery on both eyes and it is a pc. of cake! No pain at all and the surgery took 15 minutes. The lens can be ordered for near sighted or far sighted people and even installed with one lens designed for far away seeing and the other for close up. Before the surgergy I was almost blind. Now, after the surgery my vision is 20-25 and I don’t need glasses.

Answer by eleuth
Fortunately the time is over, when after a cataract operation a patient had
to wear heavy glasses.
Now, with phakoemulsive or other modern methods and after insertion of a crystalline NO glasses are required.
