Can I talk to the ophthalmologist during my lens replacement treatment?

The treatment is usually in 2 steps. Step 1 the catalys laser that does the preparation: it is very important that you stay still. You cannot say or ask anything. In step 2 where the lens is removed and replaced, it is important that you lie as still as possible. You may indicate if you experience pain or have a question. The ophthalmologist will, if you are also comfortable with this, explain exactly what he/she is doing at that moment. This way you are reassured and you know exactly what is going on and what is to come.
