Cataract - Introduction
Frequently asked questions about Cataract

Text

Which doctor should I visit when I develop cataract?
You should consult an Ophthalmologist.

What are the common problems encountered after surgery?
Problems after surgery rarely occur. These can include infection, bleeding, inflammation or light flashes. With prompt medical attention, these problems can be treated.

How soon can vision return to normally?
Improvement in vision usually begins within 1 or 2 days of surgery. As the eye takes time to heal from surgery, for complete improvement in vision can take up to 4 weeks after surgery.

When cataracts are removed, the type of IOL [intraocular replacement lens] your surgeon uses to replace the damaged lens will determine if you need glasses after surgery - more
