Before undergoing cataract surgery, do follow the instructions given by your doctor

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.
