What to Expect With Cataract Surgery

Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed outpatient procedures and is typically quick and well-tolerated. Knowing what to expect can help ease anxiety and make the day go smoothly.

Before Surgery
• You’ll have a pre-operative exam and measurements
• You’ll discuss lens options with your doctor to determine what’s best for your vision needs
• Instructions will be provided for using pre-operative eye drops
Day of Surgery
Cataract surgery is performed in our state-licensed, accredited ambulatory surgery center, designed for comfort, safety, and efficiency.
• Outpatient procedure
• Performed at our accredited surgery center
• While the procedure itself is brief, most patients can expect to be at the surgery center for about 2 hours or less
• You go home the very same day

After Surgery
• Vision may be blurry at first and improves over time
• Eye drops are prescribed to support healing
• Follow-up visits at the clinic help monitor recovery

Have questions or ready to take the next step? Call our clinic to schedule a cataract evaluation.

• A gritty or sandy feeling
• Blurry vision that comes and goes

If symptoms persist, your eye doctor can help determine the cause and recommend treatment options.
