Cataract Surgery Recovery: What Exercises Are Safe? | Shekar Eye Hospital

In this video, Dr. Srinivas K. N., Senior Consultant at Shekar Eye Hospital, Bangalore, shares expert advice on the best exercises to aid recovery after cataract surgery. Cataract surgery involves making a tiny incision—just 2 to 3 mm wide—to remove the cloudy lens using a process called phacoemulsification. An artificial intraocular lens is then implanted in its place. Although the incision seals within the first 24 hours, full recovery takes a few weeks. During the initial 24 hours post-surgery, it’s crucial to be gentle with your eyes. Avoid bending forward, as it may increase intraocular pressure and hinder healing. Try to sneeze or cough gently during this period. You can typically resume walking and light exercises after a day. Strenuous physical activity can usually be resumed after 8 to 10 days. Driving can be restarted a few days after surgery—ideally after both eyes have been treated. Swimming, however, should be avoided for at least one month due to the risk of infection.
