Cataract Removal Surgery 101:





During this procedure, the lens containing the cataract will be removed and replaced with an artificial lens, called an intraocular lens (IOL). This procedure is minimally invasive, so the risk of complications is greatly reduced. The procedure is simple and usually takes about 10-20 minutes. The surgery may be preformed by manually creating tiny incisions, or with a laser. Patients who undergo this procedure will either be sedated or given an anesthetic, so they should have someone to drive them home after the procedure. The procedure will preformed in an outpatient setting, so no over-night stay is required or necessary.
