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 driving and reading become difficult. However, waiting too long can allow a cataract to become hypermature, which may make surgery more challenging and increase the risk of complications. Regular checkups help us monitor its progression and choose an appropriate time for surgery.

What is the difference between LASIK, LASEK, and SMILE?
LASIK reshapes the cornea with a laser after creating a corneal flap. LASEK reshapes the cornea after removing the surface epithelium. SMILE-type procedures create a small disc of tissue, called a len...

Why does vision sometimes get worse again after laser eye surgery?
There are several possible reasons, including progression of myopia, dry eye, residual astigmatism, corneal changes, and age-related changes in the natural lens. A vision test and detailed corneal exa...

Can glare and halos that started after LASIK be treated?
Additional treatment may be considered if glare and halos are related to an irregular cornea or the position of the original treatment zone. However, dry eye, pupil size, or changes in the natural len...

What are my options if another laser procedure is not safe for my corneas?
If further corneal laser treatment is not appropriate, glasses, contact lenses, or an implantable lens may be considered, depending on the eye. If corneal ectasia is suspected, stabilizing the cornea ...

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...

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...

I have been told I may have retinal detachment. Where should I go?
If retinal detachment is suspected or has been diagnosed, it is important to be examined promptly by an eye specialist who can assess the retina thoroughly. When choosing a clinic, check whether retin...

What is the difference between air and gas used during retinal detachment surgery?
During retinal detachment surgery, air or a medical gas may be placed inside the eye to help keep the retina in position while it heals. Air is absorbed faster than longer-acting gases, which can allo...
23 
Will I have to lie face down after retinal detachment surgery?
Not always. Your postoperative positioning depends on the location of the retinal breaks, whether air, gas, or silicone oil was used, and the surgical technique. Some patients need to keep their head ...

Can retinal detachment happen again after surgery?
Yes. Retinal detachment can recur because of a new retinal break, remaining traction, or proliferative vitreoretinopathy, among other causes. Keep your scheduled retinal follow-up appointments, and se...
