What should patients prepare before cataract surgery?

Báo Thanh niênBáo Thanh niên19/06/2023


Cataracts are a condition in which proteins in the lens of the eye accumulate together, causing the lens to become opaque. This process usually occurs gradually and is painless, according to the health website Healthline (USA).

Cataracts occur when proteins in the lens build up, leading to cloudiness.

Cataracts are common in older people. The National Eye Institute estimates that more than 50% of people over the age of 80 will develop cataracts. Surgery can help restore vision to people with cataracts.

To get the best results from the surgery, the patient needs to prepare from the night before. The first thing to do is to avoid drinking alcohol. The patient will discuss with the ophthalmologist which medications they are taking and which ones need to be temporarily stopped.

Have a clean towel handy in case you get teary-eyed. Also, avoid using strong perfumes or harsh cleansers before surgery.

After cataract surgery, patients will not be able to drive themselves home. Therefore, they will need a relative to pick them up.

Most cataract patients will notice an immediate improvement in their vision. They may no longer be sensitive to bright lights, allowing them to drive at night without worrying about bright lights. Patients will continue to use eye drops for about a month after surgery, according to Healthline .
