Predictors of time to recovery from cataract surgery among cataract patients at Menelik II Comprehensive Specialized Hospital: a retrospective follow up study

The median recovery time was shorter than in previous local studies but longer than in developed countries. Improved preoperative assessment, better comorbidity management, and minimizing complications may contribute to better recovery outcomes. The use of phacoemulsification and procedures performed by experienced ophthalmologists were associated with shorter recovery times, but further prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings. Personalized care approaches are recommended to optimize postoperative recovery.
