Smile It takes some time

Hi! I had one cataract done 2 years ago with a multifocal implant. It took at least 6 months before my vision stabilized. It just kept getting gradually better and better. For me, the MDS wasn't an issue at all. The medications used during the surgery are very short acting, so I am surprised he is fatigued more easily. You don't say how old he is, so maybe that is a factor. Plus it can be mentally fatiguing when your vision is unstable and anxiety producing as you don't know when it will improve. Make sure he uses his prescribed eye drops exactly as ordered. Each surgeon has his/her own routine I think.
I hope my experience has been helpful!
