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.

After a cataract surgery the number one thign the person should avoid is bright lights. They will be able to heal in about three weeks after the surgery.
Cataract surgery is a highly effective procedure that can restore clear vision for individuals suffering from cataracts. While the surgery itself is relatively quick, safe, and effective, the recovery period is crucial for achieving the best possible outcomes. In this post, we will provide a comprehensive guide on what you should and shouldn't do after your cataract surgery to ensure a smooth and successful recovery. By following these guidelines, you can minimize the risk of complications, promote healing, and maximize the long-term benefits of the surgery.
During laser cataract surgery, a laser is used to make precise incisions and break up the cataract for removal. The surgeon then replaces the clouded lens with an artificial lens. The procedure is typically outpatient, and you may be given mild sedation.
The results of laser cataract surgery are typically long-lasting and often permanent. Once the cataract is removed and replaced with an intraocular lens, your vision should remain clear. However, it's important to continue regular eye check-ups as your eyes may change over time.
During laser cataract surgery, you will be awake but given local anesthesia to numb the eye. The surgeon will use the laser to create precise incisions and break up the cataract before removing it. The entire procedure typically takes about 15-30 minutes per eye.
every Medicare advantage plan is different, but they must cover what original Medicare would cover. Cataract surgery with an intraocular implant is very common and Medicare covers it regularly.
Surgery should be postponed until the infection has cleared.
One should expect many things during a chin implant surgery but the main one would be pain. The surgeon will cut open the face and place the implant in the chin area. A few months are needed before full recovery will take place.
Any haziness, redness, decrease in vision, nausea, or pain should be reported to the surgeon immediately.
