Feeling anxious? Let’s walk through it together
Surgery can sound intimidating — especially when it involves your eyes. We get it. Most people walk in with nervous questions and leave surprised at how easy the experience actually is.
Having a cataract surgery at Stahl Eyecare Experts, expect to be guided through every step with clarity and calm. From your first call to your final checkup, you’ll know exactly what’s coming.
Before surgery — the prep that makes all the difference
You’ll start with a consultation where Dr. Marc S. Werner carefully evaluates your eye health, lifestyle needs, and goals. We use advanced imaging to create a personalized plan — no guesswork, no cookie-cutter approach.
In the days before your procedure, we’ll give you simple guidelines to follow — like which medications to pause and how to arrange your ride home. All of it designed to make recovery smoother.
Surgery day — here’s how it actually goes down
The procedure itself is surprisingly quick. You’ll arrive at one of our state-of-the-art locations, and we’ll apply numbing drops — no general anesthesia needed. Most surgeries take just 10–15 minutes.
You won’t feel pain — only slight pressure or light movement. And best of all? You’ll be heading home within an hour.
“Cataract surgery at Stahl is often simpler and faster than patients expect — and the results can be life-changing.” — Dr. Marc S. Werner
The first few days after — what’s normal, what’s not
Mild blurriness, light sensitivity, or watery eyes are common in the first day or two. But most people start noticing sharper vision within 24–48 hours.
We schedule check-ins to make sure everything’s on track. You’ll get clear, easy-to-follow instructions — including what to avoid (like swimming or eye rubbing) and what’s totally fine.
Beyond recovery — what life looks like with clear vision
Once healing is complete, many patients report a feeling of “waking up” — as if their world has been restored. Reading without strain, driving with confidence, seeing colors like they used to.
Cataract surgery doesn’t just fix a lens — it opens a new chapter.
