Cataract Pre- & Post-Op Care

Cataract surgery is a procedure used to remove the natural lens in the eye when it becomes clouded, and replace it with an artificial lens in order to restore clear vision. Cataract surgery is indicated when the cataract impairs vision to the extent that it interferes with normal daily activities. It is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in the world.

FAQ

Is caffeine bad for your eyes?
Caffeine can be a direct contributor to dry eyes and eye(lid) twitching. A recent study found that caffeine can increase eye pressure on those with glaucoma or high eye pressures but had little or no effect on those with “normal” pressures. Limiting or removing caffeine may help if any of the above are an issue.

Cataract Surgery: Do I Need It?
A cataract is a cloudy or opaque area in the normally clear lens of the eye. Depending upon its size and location, it can interfere with normal vision. Most cataracts develop in persons over age 55, but they occasionally occur in infants and young children. Usually cataracts develop in both eyes, but one eye may have somewhat worse vision than the other. There is no way to prevent the development of cataracts and currently the only way to treat them is to surgically remove the natural lens in the eye.
