What is cataract surgery?
After surgery
Before surgery
Cataract surgery is a common surgical procedure that involves removing the cloudy lens in the eye and replacing it with a clear artificial lens implant. This surgery usually takes 10 minutes to complete and you go home the same day.
Before the surgery, you will need to undergo an eye examination to determine the severity of your cataract and the best course of treatment. You may also need to undergo additional tests and measurements to ensure that the surgery is safe and effective.
After the surgery, you will need to rest and avoid strenuous activities (such as gym and heavy lifting) for a few days. You will also need to use eye drops to help your eyes heal.
Most patients experience significant improvement in their vision within a few days after cataract surgery. However, some patients may still experience some blurry vision or other symptoms for weeks after the surgery. It is important to follow all post-surgical instructions provided by the surgeon to ensure a smooth and successful recovery.
