How long does cataract surgery take for one eye?
Cataract surgery speed varies from surgeon to surgeon, as well as other factors, such as, type of cataract, coexisting diseases (glaucoma, corneal disease), patient age, and other health conditions. In general, most cataract surgeries are completed in 10-20 minutes, but speed is not as vital as precision. Another common variable, is the type of anesthesia. Best Regards, David J. Pinhas, M.D. READ MORE
