Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed operations in the U.S. today, and one of the safest and most effective. Serious complications are uncommon, and most people come away with clearer vision.
Adding the femtosecond laser can reduce the amount of ultrasound energy needed and adds computer-guided precision to several key steps. Both laser-assisted and standard cataract surgery have excellent, well-established safety records, and your surgeon will recommend the approach best suited to your eye, taking every precaution to keep you safe and comfortable from start to finish.
Mild blurriness, light sensitivity, and a gritty feeling are normal in the first few days. But sudden vision loss, severe eye pain, and a curtain or shadow moving across your vision are not. If you notice any of these, contact us right away rather than waiting for your next visit.
