The operation
Almost all Cataract operations are performed under local anaesthetic, this means you will be awake but you will not feel the surgery or anything on your eye. The Ophthalmologist (eye surgeon) may explain the procedure as it goes along, members of the healthcare team will be available to hold your hand if you wish. You will see a bright light and some vague movements, but no detail during the operation. The surgeon will make a tiny incision in your eye, it will be so small that stitches are not usually necessary. Using a special microscope and tiny instruments, the surgeon will remove the cloudy lens and replace it with a special small plastic lens implanted in your eye. The implant lens will remain permanently inside your eye so that you can see after the operation. The operation usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes but may occasionally take longer. After the operation, a pad or shield will be used to cover your eye to prevent accidental rubbing or injury. As mentioned before the surgery is not performed by laser, however the membrane that holds the lens inside the eye may become thickened in the years following surgery, this can be easily removed using a laser.
