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.

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 ...

Why is corneal thickness particularly important for a second laser procedure?

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...
