Corneal Edema after Cataract Surgery

In patients who have cataract surgery in both eyes, one eye will often heal faster than the other eye. I have seen severe corneal edema on day 1 after surgery, causing very blurry vision, redness, and discomfort. I have also seen mild to no corneal edema, and vision is very clear.

This should clear in 24-48 hours. Stay on your prescribed eye drops!
