Can you drive after cataract yag laser surgery?

Following YAG laser capsulotomy, most patients can resume normal activities, including driving, within 24 to 48 hours. However, it's important to follow the specific instructions provided by your eye doctor, as individual healing times may vary.

While driving, you may experience some mild blurry vision or halos around lights, especially at night. This is a normal, temporary side effect of the procedure and usually improves over time. It's important to take extra caution and avoid driving at night or in low-light conditions until your vision has fully stabilized.

It's also recommended to wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from bright light and wind while driving. Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions regarding any restrictions or precautions before resuming driving.
