I know from personal experience that the eye that has been operated on is still blurry (though I'm not sure why) for a few days. Mine is, two days after the operation.

I'm hoping it will improve!
JBR I hope you see some improvement soon. I'd go back to the Doctor who did the surgery and see what is going on..

I seen my Doctor the day after for a complete eye test, and again two weeks later.

Have it checked out JBR..

Re: Cataract operation

JBR. From the NHS website.

You should be able to go home on the same day as your cataract surgery.

You may have a pad and plastic shield over your eye when you leave hospital, which can usually be removed the day after surgery.

Feeling should start to return to your eye within a few hours of surgery, but it may take a few days for your vision to fully return.

It's normal to have:

grittiness
watering
blurred vision
double vision
red or bloodshot eye
These side effects usually improve within a few days but it can take 4 to 6 weeks to recover fully.
