Just to provide further clarification, LASIK and cataract surgery and completely different surgical eye procedures. The former is a laser procedure to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and/or astigmatism. Cataract surgery is the removal of the human lens which becomes cloudy with age, and replacement of that cloudy lens with a man made lens. Both procedures employ the use of a laser, though a blade may sometimes be used to remove a cataract in lieu of a laser. I hope this explanation helps. Thank you for your inquiry. Dr. Robert Chu
