Does it hurt to get a cataract surgery done?

No: Modern techniques for cataract treatment are terrific and pain free. You will be gently treated, not be aware of the anti-pain premedication given to you and enjoy a post-operative recovery that you will find to be remarkable.

Sometimes: Depending on pre-operative risk factors, density of lens, type of anesthesia used, most patients report minimal discomfort during cataract surgery. Letting your eyeMD know your pain threshold will help prevent pain during surgery. More info: eyedoc2020@blogspot.com
