If you’ve had LASIK, PRK, or RK in the past, cataract surgery is still very much possible, but the decisions involved are more nuanced than most patients expect.
Previous corneal procedures affect the measurements surgeons rely on to select the right lens, which means the margin for error is smaller and the path to clear vision requires more careful planning.
In this episode, the doctors at Eye Surgery Today walk through how a history of refractive surgery changes the lens selection conversation, why the light-adjustable lens is often the most flexible option for these eyes, and when advanced technology lenses may still be worth considering.
They also get into post-RK eyes specifically, and why that conversation requires an even more individualized approach.
