Safety First
When performing cataract surgery, we remove cataracts and implant artificial lenses that we call “IOLs.” Each IOL is chosen specifically for each individual eye. We always triple check the eye that we are working on and the specifications of the IOL, because it is critical that each IOL is appropriate for each eye. So, if you have surgery and you’re wondering why people keep asking you to confirm which eye is having surgery, remember that double and triple checking is our priority. We definitely believe in safety first!
