Eye Surgery for Cataracts – Low risk and Effective
Eye surgery for cataracts is now one of the mostoften performed surgical procedures accomplished within the United States. Thanks to developing technologies it’s also one of the safest and most successful procedures. Practically every person will develop cataracts as they age. Now that our population is aging eye surgery for cataracts is going to continue to be a routine and helpful procedure for removing cataracts and restoring vision.
Cataracts form as we age. The lenses in our eyes cloud and lose their flexibility causing cloudiness and impairing vision. You might experience difficulty with glare, particularly driving at night, or a decrease within your visual field. This is mainly because the lens within your eye is clouding over and needs to be replaced.
The most prevalent form of cataract removal is Phacoemulsification. This is often a uncomplicated procedure carried out as an outpatient. Your eye is anesthetized and a tiny incision is created to enable the ultrasonic probe access to your lens. The cataract lens is broken up, “emulsified”. The bits of the lens are aspirated out leaving an empty space where the lens was. A new lens is placed in the eye and could possibly be held in place with a tiny stitch. This lens can be clear or corrective. That’s it.
You’ll need an individual to drive you home after the procedure and to your followup appointment, normally within 24 to 48 hours. At that time your doctor will check your vision and normally release you to typical light activities, including driving. As you heal, your vision will go through some modifications as your brain adjusts to seeing through your new lens. It may take as much as 6 months for your vision to totally stabilize, but most of the correction will be evident within the initial 24 hours following the surgery. When you had a corrective lens placed you could have a period of adjustment for that too, specially if you’re corrected for monovison.
As the baby boomers continue to age, eye surgery for cataracts will continue to be a frequent procedure that most will need at some point. Technology has already made it a very safe and useful process and I anticipate there will continue to be more developments as time goes on.
About the Author
I recently underwent corrective eye surgery and am amazed with the results. I did a lot of research on the options available before I made my choice and would like to share that information with you on my website Eye Surgery Options so you can make the best choice for yourself.
