Your eye will need a few days to a week to adjust to the Intraocular Lens used to replace your damaged lens. The eye may take up to a month to fully recover. Clients report the following symptoms at this time:
Call us immediately if you have any questions or if the symptoms persist more than a few days.
Our cataract surgeons in Arizona operate on one eye at a time. If you need surgery on both eyes, we schedule a follow-up appointment to see if your eye is healing as expected. If there are no issues, we can schedule your procedure for the second eye.
It’s possible that you may develop secondary cataracts due to scar tissue. Typically, we can resolve this via a YAG laser capsulotomy to remove the scar tissue around your IOL.
Call Swagel Wootton Eye Institute at (480) 641-3937 8 am – 5 pm from Monday – Friday. We will explain your options and let you know if you are a good candidate for cataract surgery in Chandler or Mesa, AZ.
