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...

Can I have vision correction surgery if I have severe myopia or thin corneas?
Severe nearsightedness or thin corneas do not automatically rule out every type of vision correction. However, we need to determine whether enough corneal tissue would remain after treatment and check...

How long should I stop wearing contact lenses before my preoperative examination?
For accurate measurements, we generally recommend stopping contact lens wear for at least one week before the examination. Contact lenses can temporarily alter corneal shape and tear-film quality, aff...

I had LASIK or LASEK years ago, but my vision has become blurry again. Can I have another procedure?
A second procedure may be possible, but the first step is to identify why your vision has changed. Treatment will differ depending on whether the cause is residual nearsightedness or astigmatism, dry ...

Is enhancement surgery possible after SMILE?
Some patients may be candidates for further vision correction after SMILE. We first assess the depth of the original treatment, remaining corneal tissue, corneal shape, current refractive error, and t...

Why is corneal thickness particularly important for a second laser procedure?
An enhancement procedure removes additional tissue from a cornea that has already undergone surgery. We consider the residual stromal bed, total corneal thickness, corneal shape, and expected treatmen...

Can I be evaluated even if I no longer have records of my previous surgery?
Yes. We can begin with your current refraction, corneal topography and tomography, eye pressure measurement, and retinal examination. Records of your original prescription, ablation depth, corneal thi...

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 ...

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...

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...

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...
