1) Eye drops are used to dilate the pupil and numb the eye. 2) A microscopic incision is made. 3) Phacoemulsification (ultrasound) breaks up the cloudy lens. 4) The lens fragments are suctioned out. 5) The artificial IOL is folded, inserted, and unfolded in place. No stitches are usually needed.
Before Cataract Surgery: 1) Complete all required pre-operative tests and evaluations, 2) Inform your doctor about all medications and supplements, 3) Follow fasting instructions (typically no food/drink after midnight before surgery), 4) Arrange for transportation and post-operative care at home, 5) Prepare your home for recovery with necessary supplies.
Vision often improves within hours. You may need to wear a protective shield while sleeping for a few days. Eye drops are prescribed for a few weeks to prevent infection. You can typically resume normal activities like reading and watching TV almost immediately.
After Cataract Surgery: 1) Take prescribed medications as directed, 2) Keep the surgical site clean and dry, 3) Watch for signs of infection (increased pain, redness, fever, discharge), 4) Follow activity restrictions and gradually increase activity as advised, 5) Attend all follow-up appointments, 6) Contact your doctor immediately if you experience concerning symptoms.
As with any surgical procedure, Cataract Surgery carries potential risks including bleeding, infection, adverse reaction to anesthesia, blood clots, and procedure-specific complications. Your surgeon will discuss these risks in detail and take all necessary precautions to minimize them.
Note: All surgical procedures carry some level of risk. Your surgeon will discuss specific risks based on your individual health profile.
