Answer:<\/strong>\nWhen you arrive at VE Medical Centre in Rodney Bay, and change into a surgery\ngown, the nurse will begin by placing eye drops in your eyes to dilate your\npupil and numb and anesthetize the surface of your eye. Several sets of eye\ndrops may be administered for Cataract Surgery. The use of eye drop anesthesia\nis sufficient for most cataract patients so that they feel just about nothing\nand experience little, if any, discomfort at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDuring your Cataract Surgery, you will be\naware of the surgeon, the staff and the operating room surroundings, but will\nnot be able to see images or the surgery being performed. Expect to see team\nmembers in scrub uniforms and surgical gowns, and wearing masks to protect the\nsterile area. During the surgery, you should not experience pain and minimal,\nif any, discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The procedure involves a very small cut\nbeing made in the eye, the cloudy cataract lens is removed and the new IOL\ninserted. The VE Medical team also use the phaco-emulsifaction equipment to\nremove the lens and clean out the lens cavity. The cut to remove the lens made\nby the Surgery Team at Vision Express is very small and normally requires no\nstitches. Your surgeon will complete the surgery by placing some antibiotic\ndrops and possibly some anti-inflammatory drops in your eye to prevent\ninfection and swelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The surgery takes less than an hour. After\nthe surgery, you will rest for a while and then go home. The surgeon will\nnormally ask you to wear an eye patch for a couple of days and you will need to\nuse eye drops to reduce any possibility of infection. You will return for a\npost-surgery visit 24 hours after the surgery and then a week later for a final\npost-surgery check-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s a review from Linda Hastilow,\nfollowing her Cataract Surgery performed in January 2016 at VE Medical: \u201cI had a cataract operation yesterday, and\nmust praise the surgeon Dr. Alejandro and the staff. Their attention to detail\nwith care and comfort was superb. The impressive part is the operating room, so\nwell-equipped with hi-tech equipment and highly-trained staff. From what was a\nvery nervous patient, not anymore — now full of confidence.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
