How long will my eye hurt after cataract surgery?
Most patients experience mild irritation/discomfort for a few days. Some people complain for weeks of a foreign body sensation. It’s very individualized, but the vast majority are very comfortable quickly. Best Regards, David J. Pinhas, M.D. READ MORE
