Laser eye surgery is performed on the cornea or outer surface of the eye. Cataracts develop on the lens which is inside of the eye, behind the colored part of the eye (the iris) and the pupil. If you have a cataract now, you will want to first get it removed before having laser vision surgery. If you don't have cataracts now and want to have LASIK, go right ahead. Know that having LASIK won't prevent you from developing cataracts in the future, though. The good news is that having LASIK won't prevent you from having successful cataract surgery in the future either. Hope that helps!

Would you recommend using a laser for glaucoma surgery?

There are several different types of laser surgery for treating different types of glaucoma. Some types of glaucoma do not require laser surgery and can be treated with medication. Inquiring with the doctor over the case should establish this. If the glaucoma has become severe laser surgery is often the last option before actual invasive surgery. It is rare that there is a loss of eye site due to this type of surgery. It should be noted that this surgery can not return eyesight that has already been lost nor can it cure glaucoma. As such, consistent careful monitoring after the surgery is necessary. This will decrease the chances of severe side effects as well.
