Cataract surgery is not painful for most patients, thanks to modern techniques and the use of local anesthesia. During the procedure, numbing eye drops or a mild sedative ensure you remain comfortable and relaxed. While you may feel slight pressure or movement in the eye, pain is typically absent.
After surgery, mild discomfort, such as itching or a gritty sensation, is common, but this usually resolves within a few days. Over-the-counter pain relievers or prescribed medications can help if needed. It’s essential to follow post-operative care instructions and attend follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing. Overall, cataract surgery is a straightforward and painless procedure for the vast majority of patients, leading to improved vision and quality of life.
