Will I have sutures after cataract surgery?

FAQ - Cataract Surgery, Laser Vision Correction, and More in...
In many cases we perform no-stitch cataract surgery at Ocala Eye. If the doctor feels it is beneficial to the patient, the doctor may use a suture, though usually just one. This suture, if needed, is buried and slowly absorbable, so our patients are unaware that it is there. The cataract will not grow back, but at a later time the tissue behind the lens implant may become clouded. This condition is known as capsular fibrosis and it can be painlessly treated with a laser.

In general most of our patients are ready to go home the same day. In cases of more extensive procedures an overnight stay is reasonable for observation but still the majority of those patients will go home the next day. Recovery is fast and most patients are able to resume their regular activities (including work) within 1-2 weeks. That is much faster than the usual 4-6 weeks of recovery after open abdominal surgery.

You may be in the area for around 5 to 7 days and half this time is for preoperative purposes and the remainder is for postoperative reasons. This is so we can be available if there are any problems that need to be addressed. Rarely, do problems occur, but if they do, such as bleeding, they usually occur right away.
