What is involved in the cataract surgery?
Cataract surgery is the most commonly performed surgical procedure in the United States and it has a very high success rate. The surgery is usually done as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia. The surgery takes approximately 30 minutes and has a very short recovery time. The surgery involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing that with an artificial lens. In most cases, the patient’s dependence on spectacles is decreased.
