By Tammie Caldwell


When you experience frequent change in your prescription for glasses and despite changing prescription if you still feel your vision is blur and poor then you must go to an eye doctor to get it checked. Usually this happens when you are affected by cataract in your eyes. You will find a number of good eye clinics for cataract surgery San Antonio and most of these clinics are situated in the prime locations of San Antonio TX.

When cataract is detected at an early stage, usually the vision is improved by wearing prescription glasses but after a while the only option left to you is to undergo surgery. The surgery is only recommended when the vision starts to get blur and prescription glasses could no longer be recommended. Its a common fact that people feel confused as mostly they have very limited information about such surgery but you can always ask your doctor before undergoing any sort of surgical treatment.

If you gather information and get to know more about this treatment, you will find out that it is more or less a very short and pain free procedure. You may feel a little bit of discomfort during and afterwards the surgery but there are no other effects you might incur if the procedure runs smoothly. Your doctor would give you pain killers and eye ointments in order to make the pain go away and they work perfectly fine.

The surgery is very straightforward and it is done by utilizing a magnifying instrument, the specialist would make a little cut on your eye's surface and afterward the blurred lens is broken down and and then completely removed. After that, another lens is embedded keeping in mind the end goal to improve your vision.

In certain cases where the lens is too hard to be dissolved another sort of procedure is used which is called the Extracapsular surgery. A larger incision is made on the eye surface so that the lens is removed without dissolving it. The recovery time for this treatment is a bit longer because it takes a while to get healed as large incision is made in the eye.

It is your responsibility to discuss everything with your doctor in length and ask all the questions or concerns that you might have in your mind. Your doctor would ask you certain questions regarding your medical history just to ensure you're fit to undergo this sort of surgical treatment. In certain cases, where the patient suffers from illnesses like diabetes the healing process becomes every more slower.

The treatment is done within a couple of minutes time and you are able to go home right away. Only if some sort of complication occurs, you might be asked to stay overnight but that happens very rarely. The very next day the bandage is also removed from your eye.

Usually both eyes have to be treated but they cannot be treated at the same time. It is recommended that one should give at least twelve days gap between the two surgeries so that the first eye is given ample amount of time of time to heal properly.
