In-Office Cataract Removal Surgery: What to Expect

At Haider Eye Care, we perform cataract removal in-house. Our cataract doctor, Dr. Ali Haider and his team will explain the procedure and answer any questions that patients may have. Avoid the stressful referral process and get treatment faster while avoiding hospital fees.

Since the patient will remain awake during the procedure, we numb the eye to prevent discomfort. Using a specialized microscope and small medical tools, we carefully make tiny incisions to remove the natural lens and replace it with the intraocular lens.

After the procedure, we require patients to rest in our recovery area for about 30 minutes. We will let patients know when they can go home. At Haider Eye Care, we take patient care very seriously. Patients should arrange for someone to pick them up after the procedure. We recommend that patients avoid activities that could cause eye strain until the eye has completely healed.

We will provide patients with recovery care instructions and will schedule patients for a follow-up visit at our Louisville cataract surgery or Elizabethtown eye care locations. Patients can contact us at any time concerning recovery care.
