Cataract surgery typically takes about 30-40 minutes to perform depending on your eye health condition.
This is the actual time of the surgery, but please note that the whole procedure from the preparation before the surgery to the post-surgery recovery may take a few hours.
Cataract surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure and is considered safe and effective.
Cataract surgery is performed to treat cataracts.
Cataracts can cause blurry vision and increase the glare from lights.
If a cataract makes it difficult for you to carry out your normal activities, your doctor may suggest cataract surgery.
When a cataract interferes with the treatment of another eye problem, cataract surgery may be recommended.
For example, doctors may recommend cataract surgery if a cataract makes it difficult for your eye doctor to examine the back of your eye to monitor or treat other eye problems, such as age-related macular degeneration or diabetic retinopathy.
