Cataract Surgery: What to expect after surgery

You were contributor to Floaters Only Vitrectomy, as was I. As I explained in that group, my cataract surgery AND retinal tear/repair of 17 months ago caused considerably more floaters and a veil-like flag that worsened my struggles driving. I, then, had a Vitrectomy and PCO surgery this past December and the result of those has been, moderately, successful. Today, I still have a few prominent floaters and the light streaks.

You mention 2 surgeries proposed and 6 month recoveries. What are those specific surgeries? I ask because my first cataract surgery was proposed as only a couple weeks of recovery. Unfortunately, I got the torn retina and had the repair surgery and other surgeries explained. Thanks much.

@bobbyo The first surgery would be for floaters and gel substance removal. The second surgery for cataracts which actually I don't notice at all but I guess the first surgery would make that more noticeable.
