Can an intraocular lens be damaged?
As a consequence of this increased manipulation, intraocular lenses (IOLs) are more prone to damage. This is particularly true for hydrophilic acrylic lenses, in which up to 28\% have been reported to be damaged after injection. The cause of IOL damage is varied.
How long does it take intraocular lens to heal?
The vast majority of patients achieve improved, sharper vision, but this change is not necessarily immediate. Although some patients see well just a few days after cataract surgery, full healing can take up to three months.
Will your glasses fall off on a roller coaster?
Most glasses, if properly fitted, will not fall off your head during a ride, even those more extreme ones. These attach to your glasses and secure them onto your head so they can’t fall off!

What happens if lens moves after cataract surgery?
Displacement of the intraocular lens causes changes to vision and, if it falls into the vitreous cavity, it can produce traction due to the eye’s own movement, resulting in retinal detachment and/or vitreous haemorrhage.
Can an intraocular lens implant be replaced?
Our answer is yes. If there is an issue with your IOL, it can be replaced with another one. This usually occurs when the lens does not provide adequate vision correction or causes problems like double vision. However, patients should keep in mind that the need for revision is rare.
What is considered strenuous activity after surgery?
Consider walking five to ten minutes a day when you first get home, and slowly increasing the time you walk each week. Do not do any strenuous exercise such as contact sports, jogging, tennis, sexual activity, or body conditioning (weightlifting, push-ups, sit-ups, etc.) for at least two months after you go home.
Can you ride a stationary bike after cataract surgery?

What happens if I accidentally rub my eye after cataract surgery?
Rubbing your eye can lead to bacteria or an infection, and the pressure is also bad for the healing incision. Your eye may itch sometimes, but rubbing it will only make things worse— you must resist the urge! Keeping your eye as clean and clear of contact as possible will lead to faster healing.
