our surgeons recommend the most suitable option after examination.<\/dd>\n<dt>Do you treat presbyopia too?<\/dt>\n<dd>Yes \u2014 presbyopia and cataract can be addressed together with the appropriate lens.<\/dd>\n<\/p>\n<dt>Is cataract surgery painful?<\/dt>\n<dd>Numbing eye drops are used, and most patients feel little or no pain. The procedure itself often takes around 10\u201315 minutes per eye, although the total time at the clinic is longer.<\/dd>\n<p><\/p>\n<dt>When can I get back to normal activities?<\/dt>\n<dd>Most light daily activities can be resumed soon after surgery. Avoid rubbing your eyes and swimming for about two weeks, or as your surgeon advises.<\/dd>\n<p><\/p>\n<dt>What are the possible risks?<\/dt>\n<dd>Possible risks include inflammation, raised eye pressure, infection (endophthalmitis, rare), retinal problems and later clouding of the lens capsule (posterior capsule opacification). With multifocal lenses, glare or halos at night can occur.<\/dd>\n<p><\/p>\n<dt>Do you check the retina before surgery?<\/dt>\n<dd>Yes. The retina and other eye conditions are assessed before surgery, and the lens plan is decided based on the results.<\/dd>\n<p><\/p>\n<dt>Can I have surgery on the same day as my exam?<\/dt>\n<dd>Same-day surgery may be possible for some procedures if the examination confirms that you are suitable, you have stopped contact lenses for the required time, the necessary lens or equipment is available, and the schedule allows.
