Do you want a successful cataract operation?
Obviously, yes! Who would say no to that!? But,
the above question is only a way to let people
know that you have come to the right place to
understand how you can have a successful cataract
operation. You need to have a mix of the right
practices if you want your cataract surgery to be
a successful one, and these include choosing the
right surgeon, being rightly prepared, and
following the right aftercare tips.
Choosing the right surgeon First and foremost,
you need to find the right surgeon for your
surgery. By right here, we mean that you need
to have your eyes operated only by an experienced
professional who has enough experience of
operating for cataracts, and has a vast number
of successful cataract surgeries on their list of
performances. Even though cataract surgeries
have now gone robotic, where machineries handle
all the major

• tasks, having a professional and experienced
  surgeon can only make your position stronger,
  and you confident.
• Being rightly prepared
• You think you choose the right surgeon and the
  job is done, is it? Then, you are wrong. Apart
  from having the right surgery done by the right
  surgeon, there are also tasks that need to be
  performed on your part to ensure that the
  upcoming surgery will be a success. What we are
  speaking about here is the preparations you need
  to do before the cataract surgery. For example,
• You will need to instill eye drops for several
  days prior to your surgery.
• You will need to avoid all kinds of makeup and
  hair-related chemicals a few days prior to your
  surgery.
• You will need to have your last snacks, meal, and
  dessert before midnight, the night before you
  surgery.
• You need to keep yourself completely hydrated
  with fluids on the day of the surgery before you
  get onto the operating table. But, you will have
  to stop any kind of intake 3 hours before the
  surgery time.
• Have your doctor informed about all the
  medications you are on before signing up for a
  cataract surgery, because you may have to stop or
  make a replacement for the intake of certain
  medications a few days before the surgery.
• Following the right aftercare tips
• As much as it is important to be rightly prepared
  before the surgery, it is equally important to
  take care of your eyes after the cataract
  surgery, if you want a faster and better
  recovery. For example,
• Instill the prescribed eye drops properly and on
  time for as many days as the doctor tells you
  to.
• Avoid driving and working for 48 hours after the
  surgery.
• Never rub your eyes no matter how critical the
  urge.
• Wear sunglasses as much as possible, especially
  when you are out in the sun, or under bright
  lights, as your eyes will be quite sensitive to
  light for a few days after the surgery.
• Wear an eye patch as recommended by your surgeon.

• Avoid all kinds of stress for the first few days
  after the surgery. Just rest and relax as much
  as possible.
• Do not lift heavy objects until you are allowed
  to by your doctor.
• Avoid swimming, hot tubs, fires, smoke, and
  barbeques for 7-10 days after the surgery.
• If you follow all these right measures, you can
  be sure that your cataract surgery will be a
  success. So, worry not, and book an appointment

  surgery in Mumbai right away!
