The time it take for vision to stabilize after cataract surgery is individual but usually by the next morning vision is restored.

The most common complication post-cataract surgery is Posterior Capsular Opacification (PCO) in which there is a migration of lens epithelial cells to the posterior capsule of the lens which cause opacity influencing the vision of the patient, with a fall in visual acuity and contrast sensitivity.  In this case, the reduction in vision will last until treated by YAG laser. The procedure is simple, with excellent outcomes and immediate improvement of vision.

Since complications after cataract surgery may occur, it is important to identify patients with higher risk factors so the ophthalmologist can take the necessary steps to minimize complications.
