There are things I wish I knew before cataract surgery that nobody quite said plainly enough and if you're preparing for the procedure, this guide is exactly what you need. Most patients focus on the surgery itself, not realising that the real journey begins the moment they get home. In this honest, experience-driven guide by Skipper Eye-Q, you'll discover what cataract surgery recovery actually feels like day by day — including why your vision will be blurry before it gets clear, how to manage your eye drop schedule without missing a single dose, which activities are completely off-limits (and for how long), why the protective eye shield at night is non-negotiable, and what the danger signs are that need immediate attention. We also cover what to expect about glasses after surgery, why follow-up appointments are critical, and how Nigerian patients can prepare for harmattan season and power outages during recovery. This is the guide you'll wish your doctor had handed you before surgery day. Read more — and go into your recovery fully prepared, not just fully operated.
