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 may also cause glare or double images to persist after cataract surgery. That is why we carefully evaluate corneal topography and higher-order aberrations before surgery and, when appropriate, address corneal issues first. A Light Adjustable Lens may also be considered when predicting the final refractive outcome is difficult. The key is to plan cataract surgery with your previously treated cornea in mind, rather than focusing on the cataract alone.
