The length of stay in the hospital for cataract surgery cannot be generalized, and the specific length of stay is determined by the patient’s specific condition.
Usually, if the patient’s condition is mild and not combined with other underlying diseases, cataract surgery usually does not require hospitalization and can be completed in an outpatient clinic. However, some special cases may require hospitalization, such as patients with complicated conditions and combined with serious underlying diseases or complications, etc. If the surgery goes smoothly, they can generally be discharged about 3 days after surgery and stop ordering medication about 3 weeks after surgery.
Therefore, whether to be hospitalized for cataract surgery and how many days to be hospitalized need to vary from person to person and from disease to disease. If surgery is needed, patients are advised to go to a regular specialized hospital to prevent being cheated or even causing other adverse consequences.
