On the eve of surgery, you will be admitted to a single ward, where a nurse will give you a full explanation of what will happen during your stay. Your surgeon will also come to see you to discuss and sign your consent for surgery form.
The day after the admission you will be taken to operating theatre for your surgery. The surgeons decide in which order to operate on patients, but sometimes this has to change during the course of the morning or afternoon. Please bear with us if we are unable to be exact about what time you will be going to operating theatre. Most eye surgeries are relatively quick to perform and typically last between 15 and 90 minutes.
After your surgery you will go back to your ward to spend the rest of the day. The next morning you will undergo several tests to evaluate surgical outcomes and eliminate complications after your surgery. Then, you will be examined by your surgeon and given advice regarding further treatment and follow-up appointment.
After discharge you may go home by public transport, but it is essential that you have an adult escorting you home.
