Went in at 6:40 and home by 8:30. Not bad even my usual white coat blood pressure jump was no bad. Wow what a difference everything is really
bright and of course my eye still dilated. No paid or redness but a
sensation of sand when I blink. I can already tell it has better
distance acuity than the right eye. I go back in two weeks for the right
eye. Drlet said was ok to ride bike I did the trainer today. Crazy windy stuff today don't need that. Some simmering of light in eye.

SO, just to avoid getting any irritant in the eyes?
I was wondering if there were any issues with getting blood pressure up
with a work out after eye surgery.
Several years ago I had MOHS surgery on my forearm, the dr said no
working out for two weeks (yes, two weeks). She said the increased blood
flow through the area could cause the still-healing sub-cutaneous
incision to bleed internally. Obviously excising a squamous cell
carcinoma isn't the same as cataract surgery, but hey, I'm not a dr.

Yes. There are numerous articles found on the web indicating that
exercise that raises the blood pressure is a bad idea after cataract
surgery. For example:
<https://www.aao.org/eye-health/tips-prevention/safe-exercise-driving-cataract-surgery-recovery>
"During first 48 hours after surgery, it's important not to bend over
or put your head below your waist. This can increase eye pressure and interfere with healing. Also, be as gentle as possible when sneezing
or coughing."
"Most people can do very light exercise the day after surgery,
including walking. For activities like biking, running, tennis, golf
and sex, wait 7 to 10 days after your procedure."
"During the first 24 hours, the small incision begins to close and the surface of the eye seals shut. But the smooth barrier underneath the
eye's surface can take another few weeks to fully heal."
I talked with someone in the ophthalmology waiting room to pass the
time. He was there for an inspection and possible repeat surgery. The
lens in one eye had fallen out of place because he had jumped off
something and hit the ground hard.
I was also warned not to touch, rub or wash my eyes for at least a
week. I didn't quite follow those instructions but did make an effort
not to comply.
May I suggest you do some online reading about what to do (and what
not to do) after surgery? <https://www.google.com/search?q=exercise+after+cataract+surgery+blood+pressure>
You also mentioned:
"Dr said to wait a week before riding outside I can live with that my
vision right now is quite good. Amazing. So inside to ride or walk on treadmill too."
I don't understand what you mean by "So inside to ride or walk on
treadmill too." Does that mean you're going ride your bicycle inside
your house and use the treadmill? I suggest you NOT do those
exercises.
Recovery might take more than a week. If your procedure was similar
to mine, you will be going in for an inspection fairly soon. They
should see if everything is where it belongs. Ask the staff or ophthalmologist what you can and cannot do. I received several pages
of written instructions. If you also have those, read them again.
Good luck, get well, and please don't rush things.

I ask the ophthalmologist what I can do I explained this in previous
post.
He said I could walk. I could ride my bike inside which of course
means the indoor trainer. He told me to wait a week to ride outside. I
am not supposed to lift more than 20 pounds. Not lifting anything but I
do admit I put my guitar upstairs and in case it weighs more than 20
pounds never thought about it.
Had surgery on Friday at 7am. Went back for 24 hour post follow up at
his office.
He looked at eye said was healing and doing ok.
They did
have me read the chart to see where eyesight was. I could read the 20/25
line and make out the 20/20.
Dr said my eye a little dry makes sure to
use the Refresh tears a lot and probably if not dry I could read the
20.20 line.
I can read the small caution label on the Utility Box in my
backyard from the house. I have live here 22 years and never seen it
quite that clear or be able to read it.
I am not at all touching or rubbing my eye in anyway. I pat it dry after >shower and no soap or anything in the eye.
I had retinal detachment and
gas bubble in my eye and that was way more complicated that this. I am
though wanting to be as careful as possible no bending or straining.
Head up and forward and praying it heals.
