What to expect

Your cataract surgery day.

The eye is numbed with drops. A tiny incision is made, and ultrasound energy breaks up the cloudy lens. The fragments are suctioned out and a new IOL is inserted. The incision self-seals. Each eye is done separately, usually 1–2 weeks apart. Surgery takes 15–30 minutes.

Anaesthesia: Local anaesthesia is typically used.

Insurance

Ask your insurer.

Whether insurance pays for cataract surgery depends on your plan. Ask your insurer what your plan covers and what you would pay before you book.
