In this video, Consultant Cataract Surgeon Miss Laura Crawley discusses how technological advances have made cataract surgery so slick and smooth. Phaco cataract extraction and intra-ocular lens implant is done under local anaesthetic as a day case. Once you have this surgery, your cataracts are cured and never come back. The corneal incisions made during surgery in order to reach the cataract are only about 2 millimeters wide, and the recovery time is much quicker than in the past because of these very small incisions. Patients are only in the hospital for a day and do not have to spend the night. If you have other problems like glaucoma, you should see a glaucoma surgeon who specializes in cataract surgery, such as Miss Laura Crawley, because she can treat both at the same time. In private medical care, you have more choice on the timing of your operation and the surgeon. To learn more about what happens after cataract surgery, please visit our website at www.clinicalon....
