The entire process takes less than two hours. Following surgery, you will be able to return home with very few restrictions. A nurse or technician from our staff will call you later in the day, to be sure you are comfortable and to check on your progress. Generally, you will be able to return to normal activities immediately. You will see your doctor the morning following surgery.
Most patients are delighted how well they see the first morning after surgery.
You can expect to resume all your normal activities within one to two days. By the end of one week your vision should be clear, bright and normal. Your doctor will examine your eyes regularly following surgery, to be sure your vision is progressing as expected. In many cases, months or years after cataract surgery, the transplant membrane supporting the lens implant becomes hazy. If this occurs, a YAG laser is used to create a small opening, clearing your vision.
