When I had my cataract surgery, I received a printed handout from my ophthalmologist. That printed handout says “no swimming for 2 weeks”. My operation was 2 weeks and 2 days ago,

My faulty memory thinks my opthamologist said wait until after the first week in August I’m ready to swim now and feel like it would be okay, but perhaps I should wait another week?

What say you? I say swim. I know I shouldn’t scuba dive because of the pressure, this includes snorkeling because of the mask, it’s like a suction cup on the face (and eyeballs). And for lunchtime sea swimming I wear goggles, which again is like a suction cup on the eyes too, so I reckon I better wait.

Thanks for figuring out for me. I could have never made the decision without you!
