Results & Recovery after Cataract Surgery in Torrance & Beverly Hills

What can I expect with cataract removal surgery?

During cataract removal, our eye surgeon uses local anesthesia to ensure that you are comfortable during the procedure. Next, the doctor precisely fragments the lens utilizing a femtosecond laser. Your surgeon then removes the emulsified lens material through a microscopic incision and replaces it with an intraocular lens (IOL).

What is recovery like after cataract surgery?

Following your cataract surgery in Torrance, you will need to arrange another person to drive you home after your surgery. Recovery is usually quick after cataract surgery. You can expect to experience some soreness and discomfort, which should subside within a few days in many cases. It is essential to follow all post-operative care instructions and apply all eye drops as directed.

FAQ

What are the symptoms of cataracts?

Many people over the age of 50 have cataracts. If cloudiness affects only a small portion of the lens, you may not be aware that the condition is developing. As they grow larger, they can cloud more of the lens and distort more of the light, affecting clear vision. Signs and symptoms of cataracts may include:

Blurry, clouded, or dim vision
Increasing night vision difficulties
Need for brighter light for reading and other close-up activities
Sensitivity to light and glare
Fading or yellowing of colors
Double vision in one eye
Seeing halos around lights

What are IOLs?

IOLs are intraocular lenses. They replace your natural lens with a prosthetic that becomes a permanent part of your eye. The IOLs can be customized with a prescription for clear vision. There are several kinds of IOLs, including:

Monofocal lenses: This type of lens corrects either nearsightedness or farsightedness. If your surgery involves placing monofocal lenses to correct your distance vision, you will likely still need to wear reading glasses to read, work on a computer, or other up-close tasks.
Multifocal lenses: Multifocal lenses correct both nearsightedness and farsightedness. Most patients who get multifocal lenses achieve spectacle independence and are free from glasses. We offer all of the latest multifocal lenses.
Astigmatism lenses: Toric lenses are made specifically to treat astigmatism. With a toric lens in place, you will no longer rely on glasses or contact lenses to see clearly off into the distance.

Your ophthalmologist in Torrance & Beverly Hills will discuss the merits and potential drawbacks of each type of IOL with you in advance of your cataract surgery. If cataracts are stealing your vision, you can rely on the expert cataract surgeons at Beverly Hills Institute of Ophthalmology for cataract removal and premium IOLs.
