Expertise in Cataract Surgery After LASIK or PRK
Patients who have previously undergone LASIK, PRK or other refractive procedures require specialized measurements and intraocular lens (IOL) calculations during cataract surgery. Because prior refractive surgery alters the eye’s optical measurements, selecting the most appropriate lens power can be more complex and requires careful evaluation.
NewView Eye Center utilizes advanced diagnostic technology and modern IOL calculation methods to help optimize outcomes for post-refractive surgery patients. Our experience with cataract surgery after LASIK, PRK and other vision correction procedures helps us tailor treatment plans to each patient’s unique visual needs and goals.
