Common questions
Is cataract surgery painful?
Most cataract surgery is done with numbing drops or local anaesthesia. The doctor will explain what is suitable for the patient.
How long is recovery?
Many patients return to light routine quickly, but drops and follow-up are important. Exact instructions depend on the eye and surgery.
Which lens is best?
There is no single best lens for everyone. The right choice depends on eye health, visual needs, and budget.
