400;\">An eye doctor will determine whether you need cataract surgery by performing a comprehensive eye exam. If you require surgery, your eye doctor will discuss your options and provide recommendations tailored to your eye health, vision goals, and financial needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Standard cataract surgery is an outpatient procedure that is performed in a surgery center. It usually takes between 10 and 15 minutes and is completely painless.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your eye is numbed before the operation, allowing the eye surgeon to make a tiny incision with little discomfort. Once the incision is made, the cataract is broken apart by ultrasonic frequency and removed with a specialized vacuum. A standard intraocular lens is then planted in place of the cataract to restore clear vision.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Postoperative recovery is typically painless and has a relatively quick timeline. No stitches are necessary, and vision typically improves within the next few days. In rare cases, you may experience minor eye inflammation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some general recovery tips:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wear sunglasses when outdoors<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not rub your eyes<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use eye drops as instructed by your surgeon<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"
