I'm really sorry you're going through that. Some doctors work strictly for the dollars and do as many procedures as possible in the shortest amount of time. We overheard our doctor's staff talking about how he was able to do a procedure in under 5 minutes. We should have sued him, more to tell the world to beware of this guy than anything else. You can't put a price on your vision.

Actually, cataract surgeries are commonly very quick - like most surgeries, the shorter the time frame works in a positive way for recovery. Here's an AI summary - note the total time vs the time the surgeon actually spends implanting the IOL:

"Cataract surgery typically takes between 10 and 20 minutes. This includes the time for:
Preoperative preparation (e.g., numbing the eye)
Performing the surgery (removing the cloudy lens and implanting a new one)
Postoperative monitoring
In some cases, the surgery may take longer if there are complications or if the patient requires general anesthesia."
