Advantages of same-day cataract surgery on both eyes include fewer office visits, faster recovery of binocular vision for driving and other critical tasks, and a quicker return to normal living.

These patients sometimes are unhappy when the cataract procedures are performed on separate days because they feel visually unbalanced after the first surgery.
