Is Presbyopia Cataract Surgery Possible for Those Who Had LASIK or LASEK in Their 20s?

Is Presbyopia Cataract Surgery Possible for Those Who Had LASIK or LASEK in Their 20s?


Yes, people who have undergone LASIK or LASEK can still receive presbyopia cataract surgery. In the past, it was difficult to accurately measure the corneal power because the shape of the cornea changed after LASIK or LASEK. As a result, the lens power used during cataract surgery was sometimes inaccurate.


However, with today’s advanced diagnostic technology, it is now possible to perform cataract surgery with precise lens calculations even for patients who previously had LASIK or LASEK.


Is the Satisfaction Rate Lower for Presbyopia Cataract Surgery in Patients Who Have Had LASIK or LASEK?



After undergoing LASIK or LASEK, patients typically experience a significant improvement in their distance vision. When cataract surgery is later performed, many patients notice that their near vision improves, but their distance vision may feel slightly reduced compared to before.


This perception occurs because their distance vision after LASIK or LASEK was exceptionally sharp, so even though overall vision quality remains good, the relative change can make distance vision feel less clear


Is Presbyopia Cataract Surgery Possible After Lens Implantation?



After lens implantation surgery, the space inside the eye becomes narrower, which can place stress on the surrounding tissues. Over time, this accumulated stress may gradually reduce the function of internal eye structures. As aging progresses, the natural lens (crystalline lens) also enlarges due to presbyopia, further narrowing the space within the eye.


When cataract surgery is performed in this condition, the previously implanted lens is removed first, followed by the extraction of the enlarged, clouded natural lens. Once both are removed, an artificial intraocular lens is inserted — this widens the internal space of the eye, often improving its condition.


Therefore, if you are considering presbyopia cataract surgery after lens implantation, it’s generally better to proceed sooner rather than later.
