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 we can still assess your current eye condition even if those records are unavailable.

21	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...
20	Is it possible that my vision will not fully recover even after successful retinal surgery? Yes. Even when surgery successfully reattaches the retina, vision may not return to its previous level. Recovery can be limited if the macula, which is responsible for central vision, has remained det...
19	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...
18	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 ...

15	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...
14	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...
13	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...
12	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...
11	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...
10	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 ...
