Frequently Asked Question
-
What is an intraocular lens (IOL)?
An IOL is an artificial lens that replaces the cloudy natural lens removed during cataract surgery. It helps focus light onto the retina for clearer vision.
-
How should I prepare for the surgery?
Your doctor will provide specific instructions, which may include fasting, avoiding certain medications, and arranging for someone to drive you home post-surgery
-
How long does the surgery take?
The actual procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes. However, preparation and post-surgery care can extend the total time to a couple of hours.
-
Is cataract surgery painful?
Most patients report little to no pain. Anaesthetic eye drops are used to numb the eye, making the procedure quite comfortable.
-
How long is the recovery period after the surgery?
Vision can begin to improve within a few days, but complete recovery typically takes about 4 weeks. During the first few days, you might experience mild discomfort, itching, or fluid discharge.
-
When can I return to my daily activities after the surgery?
Many patients can return to their normal routine after a couple of days. However, you should avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for a few weeks.
-
Are there any risks associated with cataract surgery?
While cataract surgery is one of the safest procedures, like any surgery, it has risks. Complications are rare but can include infection, bleeding, inflammation, and retinal detachment.
-
Will I need glasses after cataract surgery?
Today there are advanced lenses available, including monofocal, bifocal and trifocal/multifocal lenses. Depending on the lens you choose, your dependency on the glasses can be managed accordingly.
-
Can cataracts come back after surgery?
Once removed, a cataract cannot return. However, some patients may experience clouding in the lens capsule that holds the IOL. This can be easily treated with a simple laser procedure.
