How Does cataract surgery affect sinuses?

Cataract surgery itself typically does not directly affect the sinuses, as the procedure is focused on the eye. However, some patients may experience temporary discomfort or pressure around the eyes and sinuses due to swelling or inflammation following surgery. Additionally, if a patient has pre-existing sinus issues, they may notice changes in sinus pressure or drainage during recovery. Overall, any significant sinus-related effects would be incidental rather than a direct consequence of the cataract surgery.
