What to check before ordering
Follow your surgeon's instructions first. Many people need to wait until the eye has healed and the prescription has stabilized before ordering final prescription glasses.
Common post-surgery eyewear choices include readers for near work, distance glasses, progressive lenses, and sunglasses with UV protection. The right option depends on your surgery outcome and your eye doctor's prescription.
Do not guess your prescription after surgery. Ask when your final refraction should be done and whether one eye or both eyes have completed treatment.
Medicare coverage may apply to one standard pair after cataract surgery with an intraocular lens, but details matter. Confirm supplier rules and expected costs before purchase.
Order review checklist
- Confirm the prescription is current and readable.
- Measure PD or choose to send it later before production.
- Compare frame measurements against a pair that already fits.
- Review lens material and coating choices before submitting.
- Save the order number for tracking and support.
