Cataract surgery may be inadvisable in patients with certain conditions, such as uncontrolled glaucoma, severe retinal diseases, or other significant ocular health issues that could compromise surgical outcomes. Additionally, individuals with systemic health problems that increase surgical risk, like uncontrolled Diabetes or cardiovascular diseases, may also be deemed unsuitable for the procedure. Active eye infections or inflammation can further delay or prevent surgery until the condition is resolved. Lastly, if the patient has unrealistic expectations about surgery outcomes, this may affect the decision to proceed.

What are the benefits of laser cataract surgery?
Laser cataract surgery is a relatively new techniue that has revolutionized the treatment of cataracts. Compared to traditional cataract surgery, which uses a manual blade to make incisions and remove the cloudy lens, laser cataract surgery uses a computer-guided laser to perform these tasks.

Laser cataract surgery uses advanced femtosecond laser technology to assist with key steps of the procedure, such as making incisions and softening the cloudy lens for easier removal. This allows for greater precision and can reduce stress on the eye. Traditional cataract surgery, while still highly effective, relies on handheld instruments for these steps. Many patients seeking accuracy and a more customized approach choose experienced specialists like Dr. Stuart Terry, who offer both traditional and laser-assisted cataract surgeries depending on individual needs

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.
