Cataract surgery is very safe and advanced. Yet there are a few misconceptions about the surgery. We discuss some of these here.
MYTH : Rainy season is not a good time to undergo cataract surgery
FACT: Cataract surgery is safe in any season. Present day techniques are very advanced and effective medication is also available.
MYTH: One cannot bathe after cataract surgery
FACT: From the second day of surgery one can bathe neck down and start wiping the face with a wet cloth. But one should not splash water in the operated eye.
MYTH: Eye drops can be used to treat cataract
FACT: Eye drops cannot dissolve the cataract, the only way to treat cataract is by surgery.
MYTH: Cataract should ripen before the surgery is done.
FACT: Ideally cataract surgery should be performed when it disturbs the daily activity. Cataract surgery can be done at any time, waiting for the cataract to mature and ripen increases the chance of complications.
