I'm scheduled to have Cataracts surgery, but will this disqualify me from getting LASIK in the future?

Cataracts is not an easy condition to live with, and as such, getting it corrected should probably be your first priority. The good news is, just because you've had eye surgery of one variety doesn't automatically make you ineligible for future eye surgeries. On the contrary, many eye surgeons are on the same page with you in your attempts to get the clearest, most hassle-free vision possible.

As such, many LASIK surgeons are happy to consider patients who have already had cataract surgery. While this is not a blanket statement by any means, and every surgeon assesses every patient on a case by case patient, having cataract surgery is usually not an immediate disqualification from getting LASIK Eye Surgery.

If you've had cataracts surgery, are getting cataracts surgery, or have had any other kind of eye surgery, and want to get LASIK, the best plan of action is to schedule a consultation with a LASIK Eye Surgeon. He or she will be able to tell you if you're a good candidate for the surgeon, given your surgical history. Also, you can get any question answered regarding how the LASIK surgery may affect the results of any prior vision surgeries.
