Each lens is selected based on detailed measurements taken prior to the procedure to ensure the best possible visual outcome is reached for every patient. Cataract surgery is one of the most common medical procedures performed around the world. This painless small incision procedure generally takes only about 15-30 minutes and can produce immediate visual improvement. In most cases only local anaesthesia is necessary.

Although vision improvement may be immediate, post-surgery patients are asked to avoid tasks that could lead to unnecessary complications in recovery. Following these guidelines will provide the best possible outcome for your immediate and future visual outcome as it allows the eye time to completely heal and avoids the risk of infection or shifting of the new lens. These restrictions include:

- Avoid water in your eyes for a period of 3-5 days
-Avoid Exposure to dirty or dusty environments for 5-10 days
-Avoid Heavy lifting (<10lbs) and bending over at the waist
-Limit or avoid eye strain activities such as reading, computer work and driving for period of about 10-14 days
-Surgical patients are also giving more detailed verbal and written post-op instructions at the time of the procedure.
