Cataract - Frequently Asked Questions
What is cataract surgery?
Cataract surgery removes your eye’s cloudy natural lens and replaces it with a clear artificial lens (IOL). It’s a safe, outpatient procedure that improves blurry or cloudy vision caused by cataracts.
What is laser cataract surgery?
Laser cataract surgery uses advanced laser technology to assist with precise incisions and soften the cataract before removal. This can improve accuracy and reduce energy used during surgery.
Is laser cataract surgery better than traditional surgery?
Both options are safe and effective. Laser cataract surgery offers enhanced precision and advanced imaging, while traditional surgery remains highly successful. Your doctor will recommend the best option for you.
How long does cataract surgery take?
The procedure usually takes about 10–15 minutes per eye. You should plan to be at the surgery center in Denton, TX for about 2–3 hours total.
What is recovery like after cataract surgery?
Most patients notice better vision within a few days. Full healing typically takes about 3–4 weeks. You’ll use prescription eye drops and avoid heavy lifting for a short time.
Is cataract surgery covered by insurance?
Yes. Cataract surgery is typically covered by Medicare and most insurance plans. Premium lenses or advanced laser options may involve additional costs.
