Cataract Surgery
Report
The purpose of cataract surgery is to improve the passage and focusing of light through your eye in order to create a more sharply focused image in your retina, and thus, improve the quality of your vision and overall visual function. A visually significant cataract is an opacified or cloudy natural lens that scatters and/or impedes the passage of incoming light through the eye so as to produce an unfocused image on the retina.
Procedure Instructions – Cataract Surgery
Report
What to Expect: The Surgery is typically done on an out-patient basis under IV sedation and topical anesthesia using eye drops. It usually takes about 20 minutes. Afterward, the eye will not be patched, but you will be asked to wear a protective shield while sleeping for one week. Your doctor and/or his staff will instruct you in the use of your post-op eye drops, which you will start using on the same day as the surgery.
