How Long After Cataract Surgery Can You Drive?

Cataract surgery is a common procedure that can improve vision in people who have cloudy lenses in their eyes. The surgery is usually done on an outpatient basis and takes about 30 minutes.

During post cataract surgery recovery, you will need to follow your doctor's instructions carefully to ensure a smooth recovery. One of the most important things to do is to avoid driving until your doctor gives you the green light.

How long you need to wait before driving after cataract surgery will vary depending on a few factors, including:

The type of cataract surgery you had

Your overall health

How well your eyes are healing

In general, you should wait at least 24 hours before driving after cataract surgery. However, your doctor may advise you to wait longer, especially if you have complications.

Here are some signs that you are not ready to drive yet:

Blurred vision

Double vision

Sensitivity to light

Eye pain

Discharge from your eye

If you experience any of these symptoms, do not drive. Wait until your vision has improved and you are feeling comfortable behind the wheel.

General tips for improving your vision after cataract surgery:

Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from the sun.

Use eye drops as directed by your doctor.

Avoid rubbing your eyes.

Get plenty of rest.

Follow your doctor's instructions for returning to your normal activities.

In most cases, your vision will continue to improve for several weeks after cataract surgery. If you are still not satisfied with your vision after 6 weeks, talk to your doctor. There may be other treatments that can help you improve your vision.

You can first check Revital Vision’s experts guide on:

How to Improve Near Vision After Cataract Surgery - in order to gain familiarity with all relevant aspects.

In addition to the tips above, you can do a few things to improve your near vision after cataract surgery.

Ask your doctor about using reading glasses or bifocals.

Consider vision therapy. Vision therapy is a series of exercises that can help improve your eye coordination and focusing ability.

Try RevitalVision. RevitalVision is an FDA-approved therapy that has been shown to improve vision in people with amblyopia and other visual impairments.

If you are concerned about your vision after cataract surgery, talk to your doctor. They can help you develop a plan to improve your vision and return to your normal activities.

Cataract Recovery Period

The recovery from cataract surgery is usually short and uneventful.

However, there are a few things you can do to help your eyes heal and prevent complications.

Follow your doctor's instructions carefully.

Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from the sun.

Use eye drops as directed by your doctor.

Avoid rubbing your eyes.

Get plenty of rest.

Avoid strenuous activity for a few days.

In most cases, you will be able to return to your normal activities within a few days of surgery. However, it may take several weeks for your vision to fully recover.

If you have any questions or concerns about your recovery, talk to your doctor. They can help you ensure a smooth and uneventful recovery.

I feel like "running gag of person with superpowers being asked to use them to solve everyday problems by their friends" should not be a real-life situation, and yet, here I am, being occasionally summoned to make sure there's no UV light leaking from the resin print curer because the lens implants I got from cataract surgery as a kid gave me access to bonus colors.

Spare Parts (Goretober 2024_

Spare parts is what she called about. A phone call at midnight, once again overcome about what happened so many years ago. "Retinas don't grow back," you said, trying to end the call before the sounds got beyond a pig-squeal pitch as...fingers? spoon? ice cream scoop? attempted to slide beyond eye socket and drag retinas into drying, dying daylight they weren't meant to see. The wail down the line makes you wonder what sort of package ("I'd give you my eyes") to expect later.

Beyond Cloudy Lenses: Discover the World of Advanced Cataract Surgeries in Aurangabad

If you or someone you know is struggling with cataracts, you're not alone. Cataracts are a common eye condition that affects millions of people worldwide. In the beautiful city of Aurangabad, cutting-edge medical facilities are revolutionizing cataract surgeries. In this comprehensive guide, we will take you on a journey through the world of advanced cataract surgeries in Aurangabad, shedding light on the latest techniques, technologies, and skilled surgeons that are changing the lives of patients for the better.

Understanding Cataracts: A Closer Look at the Cloudy Lens

Before we delve into advanced surgeries, let's first understand what cataracts are and how they impact vision. The human eye's natural lens is clear and transparent, allowing light to pass through and focus on the retina. However, as we age, the lens may start to cloud, leading to a condition known as cataract. This clouding can cause blurred vision, difficulty in seeing at night, sensitivity to light, and may eventually lead to vision loss if left untreated.

The Evolution of Cataract Surgeries: Traditional vs. Advanced Techniques

In the past, cataract surgery involved a lengthy and complicated procedure with a high risk of complications. However, with advancements in medical technology, modern cataract surgeries have become much safer, more efficient, and yield better outcomes.

Phacoemulsification: Minimally Invasive Surgery

Phacoemulsification, often referred to as "phaco," is a state-of-the-art cataract surgery technique. During this procedure, the surgeon uses ultrasonic energy to break up the cloudy lens into tiny fragments, which are then gently removed. The surgeon then replaces the natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) that restores clear vision. Phacoemulsification has significantly shorter recovery times and minimal discomfort compared to traditional methods.

Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery

Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery is a cutting-edge technology that enhances the precision of cataract removal. The laser creates precise incisions in the cornea and softens the cataract, making it easier to remove. This advanced technique offers unparalleled accuracy and reduces the risk of complications, providing patients with improved visual outcomes.

Aurangabad: A Hub for Advanced Cataract Surgeries

Aurangabad has emerged as a prominent destination for advanced cataract surgeries. The city boasts world-class eye care facilities equipped with the latest medical technology and staffed with highly skilled ophthalmologists. Patients from all over the country and beyond travel to Aurangabad to seek treatment for their cataract-related issues.

The Top Advantages of Choosing Aurangabad for Cataract Surgery

Expert Surgeons: Aurangabad's eye care centers have a pool of experienced and highly qualified surgeons specializing in cataract surgeries. Their expertise ensures successful outcomes and patient satisfaction.

State-of-the-Art Technology: The eye care centers in Aurangabad invest heavily in cutting-edge medical equipment and technologies, ensuring that patients have access to the best treatment options available.

Affordable Healthcare: Despite offering world-class facilities, cataract surgeries in Aurangabad are relatively more affordable than many other places, making it an attractive choice for both local and international patients.

Preparing for Cataract Surgery: What to Expect

If you've decided to undergo cataract surgery in Aurangabad, here's what you can expect:

Comprehensive Eye Examination: Before the surgery, the ophthalmologist will conduct a thorough eye examination, including measurements for the IOL power.

Surgery Day: On the day of the surgery, you will be prepped for the procedure, which usually takes around 15-20 minutes per eye.

Recovery and Follow-Up: After the surgery, you will need a short period to recover at the facility. The surgeon will provide post-operative instructions, and follow-up visits will be scheduled to monitor your progress.

Conclusion

Cataract surgeries in Aurangabad have come a long way, offering patients a chance to regain clear vision and improve their quality of life. With advanced techniques like phacoemulsification and femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery, expert surgeons, and state-of-the-art facilities, Aurangabad stands at the forefront of cutting-edge eye care. So, if you or your loved ones are dealing with cataracts, consider exploring the world of advanced cataract surgeries in Aurangabad – a city where innovation meets compassion to bring back the joy of crystal-clear vision.

A year in illustration, 2023 edition (part one)

(This is part one; part two is here.)

I am objectively very bad at visual art. I am bad at vision, period – I'm astigmatic, shortsighted, color blind, and often miss visual details others see. I can't even draw a stick-figure. To top things off, I have cataracts in both eyes and my book publishing/touring schedule is so intense that I keep having to reschedule the surgeries. But despite my vast visual deficits, I thoroughly enjoy making collages for this blog.

For many years now – decades – I've been illustrating my blog posts by mixing public domain and Creative Commons art with work that I can make a good fair use case for. As bad as art as I may be, all this practice has paid off. Call it unseemly, but I think I'm turning out some terrific illustrations – not all the time, but often enough.

Last year, I rounded up my best art of the year:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/12/25/a-year-in-illustration/

And I liked reflecting on the year's art so much, I decided I'd do it again. Be sure to scroll to the bottom for some downloadables – freely usable images that I painstakingly cut up with the lasso tool in The Gimp.

The original AD&D hardcover cover art is seared into my psyche. For several years, there were few images I looked at so closely as these. When Hasbro pulled some world-beatingly sleazy stuff with the Open Gaming License, I knew just how to mod Dave Trampier's 'Eve Of Moloch' from the cover of the Players' Handbook. Thankfully, bigger nerds than me have identified all the fonts in the image, making the remix a doddle.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/12/beg-forgiveness-ask-permission/#whats-a-copyright-exception

Even though I don't keep logs or collect any analytics, I can say with confidence that "Tiktok's Enshittification" was the most popular thing I published on Pluralistic this year. I mixed some public domain Brother's Grimm art, mixed with a classic caricature of Boss Tweed, and some very cheesy royalty-free/open access influencer graphics. One gingerbread cottage social media trap, coming up:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/#hey-guys

To illustrate the idea of overcoming walking-the-plank fear (as a metaphor for writing when it feels like you suck) I mixed public domain stock of a plank, a high building and legs, along with a procedurally generated Matrix "code waterfall" and a vertiginous spiral ganked from a Heinz Bunse photo of a German office lobby.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/22/walking-the-plank/

Finding a tasteful way to illustrate a story about Johnson & Johnson losing a court case after it spent a generation tricking women into dusting their vulvas with asbestos-tainted talcum was a challenge. The tulip (featured in many public domain images) was a natural starting point. I mixed it with Jesse Wagstaff's image of a Burning Man dust-storm and Mike Mozart's shelf-shot of a J&J talcum bottle.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/02/01/j-and-j-jk/#risible-gambit

"Google's Chatbot Panic" is about Google's long history of being stampeded into doing stupid things because its competitors are doing them. Once it was Yahoo, now it's Bing. Tenniel's Tweedle Dee and Dum were a good starting point. I mixed in one of several Humpty Dumpty editorial cartoon images from 19th century political coverage that I painstakingly cut out with the lasso tool on a long plane-ride. This is one of my favorite Humpties, I just love the little 19th C businessmen trying to keep him from falling! I finished it off with HAL 9000's glowing red eye, my standard 'this is about AI' image, which I got from Cryteria's CC-licensed SVG.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/02/16/tweedledumber/#easily-spooked

Though I started writing about Luddites in my January, 2022 Locus column, 2023 was the Year of the Luddite, thanks to Brian Merchant's outstanding Blood In the Machine:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/09/26/enochs-hammer/#thats-fronkonsteen

When it came time to illustrate "Gig Work Is the Opposite of Steampunk," I found a public domain weaver's loft, and put one of Cryteria's HAL9000 eyes in the window. Magpie Killjoy's Steampunk Magazine poster, 'Love the Machine, Hate the Factory,' completed the look.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/03/12/gig-work-is-the-opposite-of-steampunk/

For the "small, non-profit school" that got used as an excuse to bail out Silicon Valley Bank, I brought back Humpty Dumpty, mixing him with a Hogwartsian castle, a brick wall texture, and an ornate, gilded frame. I love how this one came out. This Humpty was made for the SVB bailout.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/03/23/small-nonprofit-school/#north-country-school

The RESTRICT Act would have federally banned Tiktok – a proposal that was both technically unworkable and unconstitutional. I found an early 20th century editorial cartoon depicting Uncle Sam behind a fortress wall that was keeping a downtrodden refugee family out of America. I got rid of most of the family, giving the dad a Tiktok logo head, and I put Cryteria's HAL9000 eyes over each cannonmouth. Three Boss Tweed moneybag-head caricatures, adorned with Big Tech logos, rounded it out.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/03/30/tik-tok-tow/#good-politics-for-electoral-victories

When Flickr took decisive action to purge the copyleft trolls who'd been abusing its platform, I knew I wanted to illustrate this with Lucifer being cast out of heaven, and the very best one of those comes from John Milton, who is conveniently well in the public domain. The Flickr logo suggested a bicolored streaming-light-of-heaven motif that just made it.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/01/pixsynnussija/#pilkunnussija

Old mainframe ads are a great source of stock for a "Computer Says No" image. And Congress being a public building, there are lots of federal (and hence public domain) images of its facade.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/04/cbo-says-no/#wealth-tax

When I wrote about the Clarence Thomas/Harlan Crow bribery scandal, it was easy to find Mr. Kjetil Ree's great image of the Supreme Court building. Thomas being a federal judge, it was easy to find a government photo of his head, but it's impossible to find an image of him in robes at a decent resolution. Luckily, there are tons of other federal judges who've been photographed in their robes! Boss Tweed with the dollar-sign head was a great stand-in for Harlan Crow (no one knows what he looks like anyway). Gilding Thomas's robes was a simple matter of superimposing a gold texture and twiddling with the layers.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/06/clarence-thomas/#harlan-crow

"Gig apps trap reverse centaurs in wage-stealing Skinner boxes" is one of my best titles. This is the post where I introduce the idea of "twiddling" as part of the theory of enshittification, and explain how it relates to "reverse centaurs" – people who assist machines, rather than the other way around. Finding a CC licensed modular synth was much harder than I thought, but I found Stephen Drake's image and stitched it into a mandala. Cutting out the horse's head for the reverse centaur was a lot of work (manes are a huuuuge pain in the ass), but I love how his head sits on the public domain high-viz-wearing warehouse worker's body I cut up (thanks, OSHA!). Seeing as this is an horrors-of-automation story, Cryteria's HAL9000 eyes make an appearance.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/12/algorithmic-wage-discrimination/#fishers-of-men

Rockefeller's greatest contribution to our culture was inspiring many excellent unflattering caricatures. The IWW's many-fists-turning-into-one-fist image made it easy to have the collective might of workers toppling the original robber-baron.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/14/aiming-at-dollars/#not-men

I link to this post explaining how to make good Mastodon threads at least once a week, so it's a good thing the graphic turned out so well. Close-cropping the threads from a public domain yarn tangle worked out great. Eugen Rochko's Mastodon logo was and is the only Affero-licensed image ever to appear on Pluralistic.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/16/how-to-make-the-least-worst-mastodon-threads/

I spent hours on the sofa one night painstakingly cutting up and reassembling the cover art from a science fiction pulp. I have a folder full of color-corrected, high-rez scans from an 18th century anatomy textbook, and the cross-section head-and-brain is the best of the lot.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/05/04/analytical-democratic-theory/#epistocratic-delusions

Those old French anatomical drawings are an endless source of delight to me. Take one cross-sectioned noggin, mix in an old PC mainboard, and a vector art illo of a virtuous cycle with some of Cryteria's HAL9000 eyes and you've got a great illustration of Google's brain-worms.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/05/14/googles-ai-hype-circle/

Ireland's privacy regulator is but a plaything in Big Tech's hand, but it's goddamned hard to find an open-access Garda car. I manually dressed some public domain car art in Garda livery, painstakingly tracing it over the panels. The (public domain) baby's knit cap really hides the seams from replacing the baby's head with HAL9000's eye.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/05/15/finnegans-snooze/#dirty-old-town

Naked-guy-in-a-barrel bankruptcy images feel like something you can find in an old Collier's or Punch, but I came up snake-eyes and ended up frankensteining a naked body into a barrel for the George Washington crest on the Washington State flag. It came out well, but harvesting the body parts from old muscle-beach photos left George with some really big guns. I tried five different pairs of suspenders here before just drawing in black polyhedrons with little grey dots for rivets.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/06/03/when-the-tide-goes-out/#passive-income

Illustrating Amazon's dominance over the EU coulda been easy – just stick Amazon 'A's in place of the yellow stars that form a ring on the EU flag. So I decided to riff on Plutarch's Alexander, out of lands to conquer. Rama's statue legs were nice and high-rez. I had my choice of public domain ruin images, though it was harder thank expected to find a good Amazon box as a plinth for those broken-off legs.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/06/14/flywheel-shyster-and-flywheel/#unfulfilled-by-amazon

God help me, I could not stop playing with this image of a demon-haunted IoT car. All those reflections! The knife sticking out of the steering wheel, the multiple Munsch 'Scream'ers, etc etc. The more I patchked with it, the better it got, though. This one's a banger.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/07/24/rent-to-pwn/#kitt-is-a-demon

To depict a "data-driven dictatorship," I ganked elements of heavily beribboned Russian military dress uniforms, replacing the head with HAL9000's eye. I turned the foreground into the crowds from the Nuremberg rallies and filled the sky with Matrix code waterfall.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/07/26/dictators-dilemma/#garbage-in-garbage-out-garbage-back-in

The best thing about analogizing DRM to demonic possession is the wealth of medieval artwork to choose from . This one comes from the 11th century 'Compendium rarissimum totius Artis Magicae sistematisatae per celeberrimos Artis hujus Magistros.' I mixed in the shiny red Tesla (working those reflections!), and a Tesla charger to make my point.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/07/28/edison-not-tesla/#demon-haunted-world

Yet more dividends from those old French anatomical plates: a flayed skull, a detached jaw, a quack electronic gadget, a Wachowski code waterfall and some HAL 9000 eyes and you've got a truly unsettling image of machine-compelled speech.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/08/02/self-incrimination/#wei-bai-bai

I had no idea this would work out so well, but daaaamn, crossfading between a Wachowski code waterfall and a motherboard behind a roiling thundercloud is dank af.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/08/03/there-is-no-cloud/#only-other-peoples-computers

Of all the turkeys-voting-for-Christmas self-owns conservative culture warriors fall for, few can rival the "banning junk fees is woke" hustle. Slap a US-flag Punisher logo on and old-time card imprinter, add a GOP logo to a red credit-card blank, and then throw in a rustic barn countertop and you've got a junk-fee extracter fit for the Cracker Barrel.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/08/04/owning-the-libs/#swiper-no-swiping

Putting the Verizon logo on the Hinderberg was an obvious gambit (even if I did have to mess with the flames a lot), but the cutout of Paul Marcarelli as the 'can you hear me now?' guy, desaturated and contrast-matched, made it sing.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/08/10/smartest-guys-in-the-room/#can-you-hear-me-now

Note to self: Tux the Penguin is really easy to source in free/open formats! He looks great with HAL9000 eyes.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/08/18/openwashing/#you-keep-using-that-word-i-do-not-think-it-means-what-you-think-it-means

Rockwell's self-portrait image is a classic; that made it a natural for a HAL9000-style remix about AI art. I put a bunch of time into chopping and remixing Rockwell's signature to give it that AI look, and added as many fingers as would fit on each hand.
