Viagra - Is it OK to take Viagra after cataract surgery?

There is no definitive evidence that Viagra or other erectile dysfunction medications negatively affect cataract surgery recovery, but it is generally recommended to avoid them for 4–6 weeks after surgery to allow your eye to fully heal. Viagra relaxes blood vessels and can affect blood flow in the retina, which could potentially impact the position of your intraocular lens (IOL). While complications are unlikely, it is important to consult your surgeon or optician before resuming these medications, especially if you have other health conditions. Following their guidance helps ensure a safe and smooth recovery.
