Frequently Asked Questions About Consultations
Helpful information for patients visiting Dr. Udaya Sree G for retina, cataract, or comprehensive eye examinations.
How do I prepare for a retina consultation with Dr. Udaya Sree G?
A comprehensive retina evaluation requires pupil dilation using eye drops, which takes 20 to 30 minutes to take full effect. Dilation causes temporary blurriness in near vision and light sensitivity for 3 to 4 hours. We recommend bringing sunglasses and having someone accompany you to drive you home.
What symptoms require an immediate vitreo-retinal evaluation?
Sudden onset of lightning flashes, a sudden shower of dark floating spots (floaters), a dark shadow or curtain falling over your field of vision, or sudden painless drop in vision are ophthalmic emergencies. Call our Emergency Desk immediately.
Does Dr. Udaya Sree perform cataract surgery with premium multifocal and toric lenses?
Yes. Dr. Udaya Sree G is an experienced phacoemulsification surgeon who specializes in premium Monofocal, Toric (astigmatism correcting), and Trifocal / EDOF Multifocal intraocular lenses for complete spectacle freedom after cataract surgery.
