Frequently Asked Questions About Cataract Surgery

1. When is the right time for cataract surgery?
Cataract surgery may be necessary when blurry vision persists despite using prescription glasses, interfering with daily activities such as driving, watching TV, reading, or going out in bright light. If these issues affect your routine, it might be the ideal time to consider the procedure.

2. How long does cataract surgery take?
Modern cataract surgery is a swift procedure, typically lasting 10 to 15 minutes. However, patients should plan to spend a few hours at the hospital for pre- and post-operative care.

3. Is cataract surgery painful?
Cataract surgery is virtually painless for most patients. Topical anesthesia (numbing eye drops) is used during the procedure to ensure a comfortable, pain-free experience.

4. How successful is cataract surgery?
Cataract surgery has an impressive success rate, with 98% of patients experiencing significant improvement in their vision after the procedure.

5. How long does recovery take after cataract surgery?
Many patients notice visual improvement within a few days, but complete recovery generally takes about four weeks.
