Our experienced board certified Los Angeles cataract surgeon can answer all you questions about the best cataract surgery for you. Great advances have been made in cataract surgery. Millions of people undergo this vision-improving procedure every year. And, they experience excellent results. Modern cataract surgery has become perhaps one of the safest and most predictably beneficial operations performed today. For patients, it’s a simple procedure. Typically, it is done on an outpatient basis under local or eye drop anesthesia. A tiny incision is made in the eye. Through this incision, the surgeon inserts an instrument, about the size of a pen tip, which breaks up and gently removes your cloudy lens.

Once the cloudy lens has been removed, the next step is to replace it. That is, Los Angeles cataract surgeon Dr. Vu will implant an artificial lens that will do the work of your own lens. This artificial lens is referred to as an intraocular lens implant, or IOL. In Dr. Vu’s hands, the procedure should take 30 minutes or less to complete. Vision recovery can be almost as rapid as with LASIK; many patients are able to see well enough to drive within a week after their care.

What can I expect following cataract surgery?

Most patients typically return home the very same day as the cataract surgery. Eye drops may be prescribed to guard against infection and help your eye heal. For a few days, you may need to wear an eye patch to keep away irritants. Everyone heals differently, but most patients see well enough to return to most of their routine activities within a few days of recovery.
