How soon can I exercise cataract surgery?
You can return to light exercise such as walking even the next day. Light gym work can be resumed after 1 week. For activities that require bending down or over such as yoga and Pilates, it’s advisable to wait for 2 weeks. Golf and tennis can be resumed in 1-2 weeks but for more strenuous exercise/heavy lifting it’s best to wait 3-4 weeks. Swimming can be resumed after 4 weeks and it is best to wear goggles.
