The focusing power of the implant that will be appropriate for your eye is also calculated. To do this, the curvature of the cornea or front surface of your eye has to be measured using on instrument called a keratometer. This instrument does not touch the eye and the procedure is painless. The length of the eye from bock to front is also measured using an ultrasound machine (see Figure 12). In this test the instrument touches your eye but there is no pain because your eye is numb from an anesthetic eye drop placed in it before the test. It is also important to have your family doctor or internist check you and certify that you ore healthy enough to go through eye surgery. ANTERIOR POSTERIOR .^CHAMBER IMPLANT Lens in front of iris Fig. 10 Fig. 11 22 Can I have an implant if I have glaucoma? Yes. It is safe to put a posterior chamber implant in an eye with glaucoma. The presence of such on implant in the eye does not moke the glaucoma worse. 23 Is it possible that an implant will not be put into my eye during cataract surgery even though I was told to expect one? Yes. Although most cataract operations proceed smoothly, occasionally conditions arise during surgery that make implantation inadvisable. Your surgeon will use his best judgment at the time of surgery in determining whether on implant should be put in. Even if on implant is not put in during the cataract operation, it is possible, in some cases, to put one in at a later date. 24 Will I have pain during the operation? No. Due to medications that make you slightly drowsy and on anesthetic solution injected around the eye, cataract surgery is a painless and comfortable procedure. 25 Will I need to use my glaucoma medications after cataract surgery? Yes. November 1985, NCMJ 657
