How do you know when cataract surgery is needed?
It used to be "when they are ripe", but with medical technology you can now have cataracts removed as soon as your opthamologist sees the signs of a cataract forming. I've had cataracts removed off both eyes. It was a snap for me, but meticulous work for the surgeon. You go in as an out-patient (can remain in street clothes) and given an IV drip of Valium and 40 mins. later you are sitting in a wheel chair fully awake, feeling good, being given coffee or tea, a muffin and your vitals taken for 20 minutes, then sent home. I got home and made dinner and felt great. BETTER ANSWER It is true cataracts can be removed straight away, but you don't get given 'Valium' and if you were given Valium, you shouldn't have been making tea when you got home. its very dangerous. My anesthesiologist came out and talked to me before surgery and told me it was Valium drip! The anesthesiologist is well versed on how much anesthetic to give and told me I could go about my daily routine, but should not bend over for a week (which would put pressure behind my eyes.) I listen to the pros.

What is post op care for Cataract surgery?
Wow. This is a tough one to answer succinctly. Briefly,…
After surgery, patients may be instructed to eye drops that same day. Some surgeons, however, patch the eye and instruct their patients not to use any drops the first day. At all costs, avoid rubbing the eye. Most surgeons place a shield over the eye to be worn at night to protect the eye from inadvertent rubbing during sleep.
Activities that involve submerging the eye under water should be avoided for a few weeks (so no swimming or diving). However, it is OK to shower or wash one's hair by the day after surgery.
Mild discomfort, pain, tearing and increased sensitivity to light can be observed. However, if pain is severe or vision worsens, patients should contact their eye surgeon right away. Patients are often instructed to visit their eye surgeon the afternoon of surgery or the following day for assessment of eye pressure and wound healing. A prescription for eye drops may be given to aid recovery, and re-evaluated a week after surgery.
Usually by three to six weeks after surgery a new prescription for spectacles can be obtained.

Will you need far or near glasses after Cataract Surgery?
Now when they remove the cloudy lenses in Cataract Surgery they replace them with plastic lenses focused for far vision, so you will need glasses for near vision. Many people get bifocals with no prescription for the main lens part and the near vision prescription for the bifocal part. Other people just carry prescription near vision glasses for when they need to look at things close up but normally wear no glasses at all.
Years ago (before they began putting in plastic lenses) everyone needed glasses all the time after having Cataract Surgery, because there was no longer any lens in the eye to focus the light.
