Cataract Surgery Consultation
During the cataract surgery consultation, we evaluate the patient’s candidacy through comprehensive testing and measurements, educate them on the most appropriate treatment options, and review what to expect before, during, and after surgery. We also discuss scheduling, financial considerations, and verify insurance benefits.
What can patients expect:
Usually, a basic monofocal lens implant with no further vision correction will require glasses or contact lenses after surgery.
Patients who choose a Premium Technology Lens option can expect to experience higher-quality vision and no longer need corrective eyewear daily. However, some may still require glasses for certain tasks.
