As your surgery date approaches, it’s essential to prepare properly. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get ready:
Your first step is to schedule a comprehensive eye exam with Dr. Carl Hyder. This will help determine the best surgical approach for your specific condition.
It’s natural to have concerns about the surgery itself. Whether you’re opting for traditional or laser cataract surgery, understanding the procedure will ease your mind. Check out the American Academy of Ophthalmology for reliable information on what to expect.
Since you’ll be unable to drive yourself home post-surgery, arranging transportation is vital. Plan for a family member or friend to accompany you on the day of your appointment.
Dr. Hyder will provide specific instructions regarding medications, dietary guidelines, and other preparatory steps. It’s important to adhere to these instructions to ensure a smooth surgical process.
On the day of your surgery, you can expect to spend a few hours at the clinic, although the procedure itself usually takes around 15-30 minutes. Here’s how the day will unfold:
After being prepped for surgery, you will receive local anesthesia to numb the eye, ensuring you’re comfortable throughout. Dr. Hyder will then perform the cataract removal and lens replacement. Using laser technology can enhance precision and recovery time significantly.
Post-surgery, our team will provide detailed recovery instructions. You may experience mild discomfort or blurry vision initially, but this typically resolves quickly. Follow-up appointments in our Medford office will ensure your recovery is on track.
