I have a question about the cataract. Can I travel after cataract surgery (surgery) or are there any contraindications?
The surgical treatment of cataracts consists in replacing the patient's natural - but opaque - lens with an artificial one. The result of the surgery is a significant improvement in the quality of vision - and thus also the quality of life. You can travel after the surgery, but I would advise you to rest for a few days and have your first follow-up visits to an ophthalmologist. After that, you can travel with virtually any means of transport.
Remember that our expert's answer is informative and will not replace a visit to the doctor.
