A cataract surgery procedure is more difficult after LVC, LASIK, ASA, or PRK. Further refractive surgery or IOL lens exchange is to be expected.
The fibrosis of the capsular bag around the implant secures the positioning but can cause visual impairment within 1-3 months after a cataract surgery procedure. Once 3-6 months have passed after the procedure, YAG will be performed. It is very important to open the capsule before a refractive enhancement to avoid a refractive change. Although ex-plantation is extremely rare, it is advantageous to be performed prior to the YAG laser.
We will assess a patient’s vision approximately 3 months after the YAG treatment. To determine whether enhancement may be needed, we must ensure that a patient’s vision is stable for over 3 months with no notable refractive changes. The most important part of the process is to address the refractive outcome with enhancement if needed. Refractive enhancement is usually necessary 30% of the time. LASIK or a surface ablation will be performed to obtain the best possible corrected vision.
