Do
You Need Cataract Surgery?
If you’re undergoing
cataract surgery, you join the nearly 3 million Americans who have cataract
removal surgery annually. It’s the most commonly performed surgery in the
nation. Even so, you may find
yourself feeling anxious about the procedure.
Fortunately, author Uday
Devgan, M.D., an experienced ophthalmologist, has performed thousands of
cataract surgeries. Not only is he
an expert at performing the surgery, he is a compassionate physician who
understands the kinds of questions and concerns you have. In this book he
answers questions such as:
-
How long should you wait
to have cataract surgery?
-
What happens during the
surgery?
-
What type of anesthesia
is used?
-
What type of new lens is
implanted in the eye?
-
Is there pain after the
surgery?
-
How soon will your vision
improve after cataract surgery?
The book also contains color
photos of how cataracts are removed as well as photos of the lenses, called
intraocular lenses, which are implanted to restore vision.
