There usually isn't much to do to prepare for cataract removal surgery. During your consultation, it is important to inform the doctor of any medications you're taking. Some may need to be stopped or altered to prevent surgical risks. You'll receive pre-surgical instructions before your procedure. Please review them well in advance and contact our office if you have any questions. You may also receive a prescription for antibiotics to begin taking before surgery. If this is the case, it is important to use them as directed.
