Can I have breakfast before cataract surgery

Question:Can I have breakfast before cataract surgery?

Answer: yes,you can have breakfast before a cataract surgery,as it is usually done under local anaesthesia.
Local anaesthesia means anaesthesia is given in the eye by anaesthetic eye drops before surgery.
You can have your normal food including even curd,brinjal ,hard to chew foods.
Diabettic patient can have their normal diabetic diet before and after surgery.
In rare cases,for example cataract surgery followed immediately by retina surgery,doctor may ask you not to have
food or water for 8 to 12 hours before surgery.

Absolutely love how understanding Dr. Kumud Raut is. The only place where I have not been told about only the process of getting a surgery, but rather they insist on educating about how the eye functions and the importance of having a healthy eye before any surgery.

This is the best eye clinic ever. It's amazing how every staff is so caring. The faculty is simply top class and Dr. Aditya Raut is the best. His treatment is par excellence, but even more than more than that, he is a great human being.
