There are certain preparations that needs to be made, before your
cataract surgery. This includes a painless ultrasound test to measure
the size and shape of your eye. This helps in determining the right type
of lens implant (intraocular lens, or IOL). Besides, your operating
doctor may also ask you to stop taking some particular medicines for
some time, in order to minimise the risk of bleeding during the surgery.
To reduce the risk of infection, start taking the eye drops prescribed
by your doctor two days before the surgery. You may also be instructed
fasting (not to eat and drink anything) 12 hours before the procedure.
