How does LASIK surgery affect cataract surgery?
If someone has already had successful cataract surgery and requires LASIK to improve myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) or astigmatism, the LASIK procedure would reshape the front of the cornea and should not adversely affect the prior cataract removal and lens implant surgery if LASIK is done after the eye has completely healed from cataract surgery. However, for someone who has previously had LASIK and is now considering cataract surgery, it is not so simple. LASIK reshapes the cornea and corneal measurements are used to calculate the intraocular lens used to replace the cataract. Unfortunately, the calculations currently used do not work as well after LASIK (or other refractive surgery). So, anyone who has previously had corneal refractive surgery prior to cataract surgery may need it again after cataract surgery. For further questions, you should ask your surgeon.

How does eye surgery correct vision problems?
Basically what happens with a laser eye surgery Orange County procedure is the doctor will use the laser to cut the corneal tissue in the eyes in an effort to allow light rays to refract correctly and fall right on the eye's retina.

What does lasik do to your eyes?
Laser Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) is an eye surgery procedure in which a laser is used to reshape the cornea. LASIK eye surgery can correct most degrees of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Typically, both eyes can be corrected the same day. When performing LASIK surgery, a Kremer Eye Center surgeon will create a corneal flap and then reshape the corneal tissue according to comprehensive pre-operative testing of your eyes. Recovery is relatively quick and comfortable. The outcome of LASIK surgery on your eyes varies, with the optimum outcome being increasing vision without the use of eyeglasses.
