LASIK Information

Most eye surgeries, including LASIK, carry the risk of cataracts. Anecdotal reports of cataracts shortly after LASIK, even in relatively young patients, suggests a cause and effect relationship. Also, steriod drops routinely prescribed after LASIK may hasten the onset of cataracts. Patients with signs of cataracts before LASIK should not have LASIK because vision may be corrected with the intraocular lens used for cataract surgery. Ironically, after LASIK the altered corneal surface causes inaccurate measurement of the intraocular lens power for cataract surgery. This means that patients who have LASIK and develop cataracts will be right back in glasses after cataract surgery — or worse, subjected to the inherent risks of multiple surgeries.
