Although it will ultimately depend on how well the first eye is healing, most cataract surgeons recommend waiting between two and four weeks between surgeries. That being said, the decision to perform surgery on the second eye depends upon whether the cataract in that eye is resulting in difficulties in "activities of daily living." These are essentially tasks that require good vision to perform: reading, driving, using the computer, etc.

Hope this helped.
