A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens, which lies behind the iris and the pupil. It is a common condition, particularly among older adults, and can significantly impair vision if left untreated.
Cataract surgery is an outpatient procedure that's painless and doesn't require stitches or injections.
The healing process typically takes 4-8 weeks.
The intraocular lens (IOL) is permanent and doesn't need to be replaced.
You can resume normal activities the day after surgery, but you should avoid strenuous activities like bending over or lifting.
You can wear lipstick and powder immediately after surgery, but you should avoid eye makeup for two weeks.
You can shower or wash your hair the day after surgery, but keep water, soap, shampoo, hair spray, and shaving lotion out of your eye for the first week
The cost of cataract surgery depends on your prescription and choice of lens.
