Pre-Surgery Preparation and Eye Exams
During your consultation, Dr. Mahootchi will perform a thorough eye exam to assess your vision and overall eye health. Using advanced imaging technology, he will take precise measurements like corneal curvature and eye length to ensure the best possible lens selection for your needs.
What You’ll Need to Do Before Surgery:
- Follow all pre-surgery medication instructions provided by Dr. Mahootchi.
- Use any prescribed eye drops as directed.
- Stop wearing contact lenses a few days before surgery if advised.
- Arrange transportation for the day of surgery.
- Plan for rest and avoid physical strain after the procedure.
What Happens During Cataract Surgery
Dr. Mahootchi uses advanced techniques to safely and effectively remove the clouded lens and replace it with a high-quality artificial lens. This quick procedure restores clear vision and offers long-lasting results.
Key Details of the Procedure:
- Surgery typically takes less than 30 minutes.
- Local anesthesia ensures you remain comfortable and pain-free.
- Patients generally return home the same day.
Safety is Dr. Mahootchi’s Priority
- Every patient receives a customized surgical plan.
- State-of-the-art technology ensures precision and excellent outcomes.
- Strict safety protocols, including advanced sterilization methods, minimize risks.
- Comprehensive post-surgery care and follow-ups support your recovery.
Anesthesia and Comfort
Dr. Mahootchi’s goal is to make your cataract surgery experience as smooth as possible. Local anesthesia numbs the eye, so the procedure is completely pain-free. For additional relaxation, mild sedation is available to ensure a calm and stress-free experience.
Post-Surgery Care and Recovery
After surgery, follow Dr. Mahootchi’s post-op instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Most patients notice clearer vision within days, with full healing typically taking 4-6 weeks. During this time:
- Protect your eyes with shields when sleeping.
