Cataract Surgery Process Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How urgent is a cataract surgery? Can it wait?
A cataract usually starts very mild and practically unnoticeable but gradually becomes cloudier. Early cataract does not affect vision. Once your vision and living standard are notably affected, cataract surgery can be considered. Very mature cataract can cause glaucoma or uveitis.
Can cataract recur?
Once a cataract is removed, it will not recur. However, a small percentage of cataract-surgery patients will develop some clouding of the "capsule" in which the artificial lens is placed. If this clouding affects a patient's vision, it can be quickly and safely lasered away by an eye surgeon in just a matter of minutes.
What happens if a patient chooses not to undergo cataract surgery?
If left untreated, cataract can lead to blindness.
Will I feel the lens inside my eye? How long can the lens stay in my eyes?
No. There are no nerve cells in the capsule where the lens is implanted, so you will not feel it. The lens is placed permanently in your eye and will not "wear out".
Do I need to wear glasses after the surgery? Do I wear the same glasses as now?
In general, patients who choose to have mono-focal lens implants will be dependent on glasses either for distant or near correction. Patients who choose to have multifocal lens implants will not need glasses for daily works. Some will need glasses for computer or other mid-distant duties.
