Cataract Question (9)

Will I need to buy new glasses?


#: When your eye has fully healed, you will be measured to see if you will need glasses.You can determind that your new lens implant provides almost all the focussing necessary for distance, In the most of the time a weaker pair of glasses will help to "fine tune" distance or near focus which will provide you with the best vision possible. In most cases patients will be ready to be measured for new glasses 4 to 6 weeks after surgery.



What special treatment does my eye require while healing?


#: Use drops as recommended. Wear protective sunglasses whenever you are out on sunny days if the light causes discomfort to your eye. Avoid direct pressure on the eye _don’t rub or scratch the eye.



How do I use my eye drops?
