Undergoing eye surgery can be a stressful experience when you’re not sure what to expect. At Naples Eye Physicians in Naples, FL, we provide surgical procedures to treatment a variety of eye conditions and diseases. Before scheduling your appointment, take a look at some frequently asked questions about eye surgeries below:

What Types of Eye Surgeries Do You Offer?

We offer several types of procedures, such as glaucoma surgery and cataract surgery, to help improve or preserve your vision. Along with that, we provide laser procedures as well for eyelid inflammation and macular degeneration, lesion removal, and LASIK. After an eye exam, our ophthalmologists may recommend eye surgery, depending on your diagnosis and its severity.

Is Eye Surgery Safe?

Eye surgery is generally considered safe. As with any type of surgical procedure, there may be certain risks or side effects. Making sure that you’re a good candidate for a procedure helps reduce the risk of complications. Our ophthalmologist will evaluate your eyes and vision to determine if you’re a suitable candidate for a specific eye surgery.

What Should I Expect During Eye Surgery?

Most eye surgeries are done on an outpatient basis. That means they’re performed at our office instead of a hospital and you can go home the same day as your surgery rather than having to stay overnight. We will let you know how to prepare for your procedure and provide post-op instructions to ensure you heal properly.

Do I Need Follow-up Visits?

You might need to see our ophthalmologists for a follow-up visit after your surgery. If you have had glaucoma or LASIK surgery, we will check your eyes to make sure they are healing properly. It’s also important to visit us regularly eye exams even after a surgical procedure so we can monitor your eye health.
