Night Driving After Cataract Surgery. Many of our patients want to know what night driving is like after cataract surgery. They start to get annoyed by bright lights from oncoming car headlights and often see glare and halos around lights.
Keep a special eye on the white lines and don t let your eyes get attracted to the headlights. You should be able to delineate the sharp outlines of a dark car on a dark background. Another common symptom of cataract is difficulties and impairment of night driving.
After cataract surgery most people can see the street and cars much more clearly.
Keep a special eye on the white lines and don t let your eyes get attracted to the headlights. Do not perform heavy lifting or strenuous activities. Do not drive until after the first day following your surgery. Some people are under the impression that driving during nighttime hours is safer because there is no sun glare.
