Purpose: Removes cloudy lens to restore clear vision.

Procedure: The cloudy lens is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL).

Note: The information provided here applies to standard Cataract Surgery procedures under typical conditions. However, specifics may vary based on individual factors, such as the patient’s overall eye health, the severity of the cataract, and any complications that might arise during or after the procedure. Patients seeking this procedure through health tourism should also consider local regulations and the importance of choosing a reputable clinic that adheres to international standards.

Inpatient/Outpatient
Cataract surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, allowing most patients to return home the same day after the surgery is completed.

Hospital Stay Duration
Patients undergoing cataract surgery generally do not require a hospital stay. They are usually discharged within a few hours after the procedure, once they have recovered from the effects of sedation or anesthesia.

Type of Anesthesia
Cataract surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia, often combined with sedation to keep the patient comfortable and relaxed. The eye is numbed so the patient does not feel pain during the procedure.

Travel After Procedure
Patients are generally advised to avoid long-distance travel for at least 1 to 2 weeks after the procedure to allow for proper healing and to monitor for any potential complications, such as infection or changes in vision.

Pre-procedure Preparation
Preparation for cataract surgery involves following specific instructions from the healthcare provider, such as using prescribed eye drops before the surgery, fasting if sedation is planned, and adjusting medications as needed. Patients should ensure they have all necessary documentation and medical records if traveling internationally for the procedure.

Procedure Duration
The cataract surgery procedure typically lasts between 15 to 30 minutes. During the surgery, the cloudy lens is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to restore clear vision.

Recovery Time
Recovery from cataract surgery is generally quick, with most patients noticing an improvement in vision within a few days. Full recovery typically takes about 4 to 6 weeks. Patients should avoid rubbing their eyes, heavy lifting, and strenuous activities during the recovery period to ensure proper healing.
