Procedure

What is a cataract surgery?

Cataract surgery is a procedure to remove the cloudy lens of the eye and replace it with an artificial lens, known as an intraocular lens (IOL). This surgery is typically performed by an ophthalmologist and is one of the most common and safe procedures worldwide. Cataracts cause the lens of the eye to become cloudy, leading to blurry vision, glare, and difficulty seeing at night. When cataracts interfere with daily activities, surgery is recommended to restore clear vision.

The process of cataract surgery

Preparation: Your eye will be measured to determine the correct focusing power for the IOL. You may need to use eye drops before surgery to prevent infection and reduce swelling. During Surgery: The procedure is usually done on an outpatient basis, meaning you can go home the same day. Your eye will be numbed, and you might be given medication to help you relax. The surgeon will make tiny incisions to remove the cloudy lens and insert the new IOL. After Surgery: You will need to use prescribed eye drops to aid healing and prevent infection. It’s important to avoid strenuous activities and protect your eye from injury.

Recovery

Most people experience improved vision within a few days, but complete healing can take several weeks. Follow-up appointments are crucial to ensure your eye is healing properly.

Risks and Complications

While complications are rare, they can include infection, swelling, bleeding, and retinal detachment. Most issues can be treated successfully if they arise.

What is a cataract?

A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens, which lies behind the iris and the pupil. It can cause blurry vision and increase glare from lights.

How will cataract surgery help my vision?

Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with a clear artificial lens. This can significantly improve your vision, making it clearer and brighter.

How long does the surgery take?

The actual procedure usually takes about 15-20 minutes per eye, but you should plan to be at the surgical center for a few hours to allow for pre- and post-operative care.

Will I need glasses after surger

Many people find they need glasses less often after cataract surgery, especially for distance vision. However, you might still need reading glasses or glasses for certain activities1.

What is the recovery time?

Recovery is generally quick. Most people notice an improvement in their vision within a few days, but it can take a few weeks for your eye to fully heal.

Are there any risks?

As with any surgery, there are risks, but cataract surgery is considered very safe. Potential risks include infection, bleeding, and retinal detachment, but these are rare.

Can I have surgery on both eyes at the same time?

Typically, surgeries are done on one eye at a time, with a few weeks in between to allow the first eye to heal.

What types of artificial lenses are available?

There are several types of intraocular lenses (IOLs) available, including monofocal lenses (for one distance), multifocal lenses (for both near and far vision), and toric lenses (for astigmatism). Your ophthalmologist will help you choose the best option for your needs.

Is cataract surgery painful?

Most patients experience little to no pain during cataract surgery. Anesthetic eye drops are used to numb the eye, and you may be given a sedative to help you relax. Some discomfort or mild irritation is normal after the surgery, but it usually subsides quickly.
