Pre-operative check

These are carried out for patients requiring surgery. You should bring

  1. a list of all your tablets.
  2. your glasses.
  3. be prepared for a 2 hour stay; lots of measurements of your eyes, for example, will be needed to be taken.
  4. a friend or relation if you have a bad memory.
  5. be prepared to partly undress for an ECG (a heart recording).
  6. a list of any questions or concerns, and a note of your current medical problems.
  7. cataract surgery is usually carried out with a local anaesthetic, but occasional patients need a general anaesthetic.
