Blurry vision
It’s common to have unclear or blurry vision in the days and sometimes even weeks after you have this type of surgery. Most of the time, this cataract surgery risk is caused by some normal swelling in the eye, which happens as a part of the surgery.
Patients with more extensive, denser, and firmer cataracts are likelier to experience a bit more inflammation. They may have foggy vision or feel like they’re in a steam room at first. What can you do about it?
Anti-inflammatory eye drops that your surgeon prescribes will help immensely, but should be taken as directed. The swelling should subside, and your vision should clear up over a couple of days.
Patients with cornea disease, including Fuchs dystrophy, could take longer to heal, up to a month or more, to get the swelling to subside. If the blurriness doesn’t subside after a week, you should consult your ophthalmologist.
