Yes, Lasik surgery can be performed after cataract surgery to further improve vision. Cataract surgery involves replacing the cloudy lens with a clear artificial one, but it doesn’t always correct refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. Lasik can address these issues by reshaping the cornea, enhancing visual acuity.
However, it’s essential to wait until the eye has fully healed from cataract surgery before considering Lasik, typically around three months. Consultation with an ophthalmologist is crucial to assess individual candidacy and ensure the best outcome for vision correction.
