ToggleAfter receiving a lens implant, you can expect to experience some light sensitivity and eye discomfort. Doctors will prescribe eye drops to decrease inflammation and prevent infection, and your doctor will instruct you to wear an eye shield either all day and all night or only at night. Your vision will typically improve within the first several days after the procedure, but it will not fully stabilize for about two to four weeks.
