. Will I still need glasses after cataract surgery?

That depends on the type of intraocular lens (IOL) implanted and the condition of your eyes. A monofocal IOL is generally designed to provide clear vision at one focal distance, while some multifocal IOLs aim to reduce dependence on glasses at several distances. You may still need glasses because of residual astigmatism or corneal or retinal conditions. At First Samsung Eye Clinic, lens selection is discussed based on your examination findings and everyday visual needs.

When is the right time to have cataract surgery?
A cataract diagnosis does not always mean you need surgery right away. Surgery is usually considered when changing your glasses no longer provides satisfactory vision or when daily activities such as ...

What is the difference between monofocal and multifocal intraocular lenses?
A monofocal intraocular lens is generally designed to focus at one distance. Multifocal lenses are designed to reduce reliance on glasses at multiple distances. However, some multifocal IOLs can cause...

What is a Light Adjustable Lens (LAL), and what are its advantages?
A Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) is an intraocular lens whose optical power can be adjusted with light after cataract surgery. Its main advantage is that nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism ...
30 
Can I have cataract surgery if I previously had LASIK or LASEK?
Yes. However, previous LASIK or LASEK changes the shape of the cornea, which can make calculating the correct IOL power more challenging. Pre-existing irregular astigmatism or higher-order aberrations...

Why do I need a retinal examination before cataract surgery?
Retinal conditions such as epiretinal membrane, age-related macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy can affect visual outcomes and the choice of IOL. When indicated, we perform a dilated retina...
28 
My vision is still blurry after cataract surgery. Do I need another operation?
Not necessarily. Blurry vision after cataract surgery can have several causes, including residual nearsightedness or astigmatism, dry eye, posterior capsule opacification, IOL position, or retinal dis...

When does an intraocular lens need to be exchanged?
IOL exchange may be considered if a lens becomes dislocated, if its power is significantly different from what the eye needs, or if substantial lens-related symptoms persist despite treatment of other...

My intraocular lens has moved out of position. How can it be treated?
When an IOL moves out of its normal position, vision may become blurry or objects may appear doubled. Treatment may involve repositioning or exchanging the lens. If there is insufficient tissue to sup...

What is scleral fixation of an intraocular lens?
Scleral fixation is a procedure used when an IOL cannot be supported reliably in its normal position. The lens haptics are secured to the sclera, the white outer wall of the eye. The Yamane technique ...
24 
Do I need a new IOL if I develop a secondary cataract?
What is commonly called a “secondary cataract” is usually posterior capsule opacification (PCO). When treatment is needed, it can often be managed with a YAG laser capsulotomy rather than an IOL excha...
23 
Can I come for a second opinion if I had cataract surgery at another clinic?
Yes. We can evaluate concerns or symptoms following cataract surgery performed elsewhere. Previous surgical records, the date of surgery, and the model and power of your implanted IOL are helpful, but...

If I have a retinal problem, does that mean I need surgery?
Not always. Conditions such as epiretinal membrane, macular hole, retinal detachment, and vitreous hemorrhage require different approaches depending on their type and severity. Some can be monitored o...
