Is it safe to do heavy weight exercise after cataract surgery?
Brief Answer:
Avoid heavy exercises.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Heavy exercises should be avoided for few weeks after cataract, you had surgery 8 weeks ago hence you can start with light weight exercises. I suggest wait for few more weeks to start heavy exercises. But before starting strenuous exercises follow up with your doctor is most important who knows very well about your eye condition and progression.
If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.
Thank you.
