Guide To Cataract Surgery

Follow-Up Appointments After Surgery

Cataract surgery is an outpatient procedure, which means that patients will be able to go home the same day. However, patients will need to have follow-up appointments with their eye doctor. The exact schedule can vary based on the patient and their needs. Of course, there is a standard schedule that most doctors will recommend. This includes a follow-up appointment one or two days after the surgery, one a week later, and then one a month after that.

These appointments will help patients through the recovery process and check on how their vision is improving. These appointments also help doctors address any issues during the patient's recovery, including prescribing additional medications for pain, dealing with complications, and assessing the need for glasses.
