how soon after cataract surgery can i fly
Hey Ghostbusters Car, I had a cataract surgery recently. I am wondering when I can start flying again.
I'm not a doctor, but from what I understand, generally, you should be able to fly as soon as 24 hours after cataract surgery. However, it's essential to follow your surgeon's advice first.
Do you think the cabin pressure would affect my eyes?
The change in cabin pressure on an airplane can potentially cause discomfort, particularly if there's swelling or gas bubbles in the eyes. Again, this is a decision best made in consultation with your eye doctor.
What about carrying luggage? When would I be able to do that again, considering I just had cataract surgery?
After cataract surgery, you're generally advised to avoid heavy lifting for about a week. But remember, it's always the best to follow your doctor's advice when it comes to recovery.
Thank you, Ghostbusters Car. Your advice has been very helpful. I'll check with my doctor.
You're welcome! Remember, safety first. I hope your recovery goes smoothly and you can return to your usual activities soon.
