How do I know if I’m a candidate for LASIK (Refractive) or Cataract Surgery?

Because these treatments solve different problems, it’s important to know what your symptoms are. And exactly which problem you are trying to solve. 

Refractive treatment can help if you have: 

• Myopia (Near-sightedness)
• Hyperopia (Far-sightedness)
• Astigmatism (your vision is blurry at all distances due to an imperfection in the curvature of your cornea or lens)

If you have cataracts, surgery can help with your symptoms which may include:

• Cloudy, blurry or dim vision 
• Trouble seeing at night
• Light scatter and glare
• Yellowing of colors
• Halos

“This is an exciting time in the evolution of cataract surgery, with many new options that increase patients’ comfort and convenience and provide the visual quality and range of vision that patients desire after cataract surgery. ODs provide patients with a great service by preparing them adequately for surgery, choosing surgical referral partners who have adopted new technologies, and helping to educate patients about what to expect.” – Optometry Times
