The surgeon makes a small incision in the cornea, then uses an ultrasound probe to break up and remove the cloudy lens (a process called phacoemulsification). Afterward, an artificial lens (intraocular lens, or IOL) is implanted to replace the natural lens. The incision is usually so small that stitches are not required.

The patch helps prevent accidental rubbing or pressure on the eye while it is healing and reduces the risk of infection. It also helps minimize discomfort and shields the eye from bright light or dust. Your doctor will provide instructions on how long to wear the patch, usually for a few hours after the surgery or overnight for the first few days.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-33311\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"12\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-33311\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> Why cataract surgery only one eye at a time? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-33311\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b533076 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7b533076\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-593e8d6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"593e8d6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-start=\"8638\" data-end=\"8881\">It is generally performed on one eye at a time to reduce the risks associated with operating on both eyes simultaneously. This allows the surgeon to monitor the healing process and ensure the best possible outcome for the first eye before proceeding with surgery on the other eye. In most cases, surgery for the second eye is scheduled several weeks after the first to give the first eye time to heal properly. This approach minimizes complications and ensures better overall
