“Do patients still need annual eye exams after cataract surgery or refractive surgery like LASIK?

In this episode of Eye Surgery Today, Dr. Blake K. Williamson explains why ongoing annual eye exams remain essential, even if your vision is clear and you no longer need glasses after surgery.

Many patients assume that once cataract surgery or vision correction surgery is complete, regular eye doctor visits are no longer necessary. However, comprehensive dilated eye exams can detect serious health conditions early — including eye diseases, systemic health issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and even certain cancers — often before symptoms appear.

Your eyes provide a unique window into your overall health, and maintaining yearly eye exams helps ensure long-term vision protection and early detection of medical conditions that may otherwise go unnoticed.
