Recovery timeline visualiser
An interactive timeline of what to expect — from day 0 to month 3 — after cataract, lens replacement or laser vision correction.
Before we start
Know what to expect
The question we’re asked most often before a procedure is simply: “when can I get back to normal?” This visualiser maps the real milestones — driving, screen work, swimming, exercise, final prescription — against the days and weeks after surgery.
Choose your planned procedure and step through the timeline. Every patient heals at their own pace, but the averages below are accurate.
