FAQ's
What is a cataract?
A clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye.
How are cataracts removed?
Traditionally, cataracts are removed using an ultrasound handpiece. Lasers can be used to assist in cataract removal, however no studies have shown their benefit over traditional ultrasound to date.
How long is cataract surgery?
This varies by surgeon. Time can range from less than 10 minutes to longer for routine surgery depending on the skill set of the surgeon.
Is cataract surgery painful?
Cataract surgery should not be painful. In most cases, a sedating medication is administered so the patient is in a twilight. In addition, a local numbing medication is placed in the eye so the patient does not feel pain.
Can I get rid of my glasses?
There are options to decrease or greatly eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses after cataract surgery. To determine the options available to you, a consultation with a cataract surgeon is needed.
