One of the most common things cataract surgeons hear is:
“My second surgery felt completely different.”
So what changed?
In this episode of Eye Surgery Today, the doctors explain why many patients remember their second cataract surgery differently than their first, how memory and anxiety influence the experience, and why feeling more awake doesn’t necessarily mean anything went wrong.
The educational content and views presented are solely those of the participating physicians, whom are not being compensated for their time. This program receives support from Bausch + Lomb, Johnson & Johnson, Alcon and RxSight.
