Is it possible to have LASIK eye surgery if you have had cataract surgery?
Booker asked:
I am near-sighted, and have a little astigmatism. But I am sick of dealing with glasses and contact lenses.

My dad had LASIK done over 5 years ago cause he had a really bad astigmatism and that really helped. Except after the 9th he’ll have had cataract surgery done on both eyes within the last year. I’m sure LASIK has gotten loads better since he had it done so no worries.
I don’t know if the cataract surgery before has any effect but go see a LASIK surgeon and see what they say.
Cornea-based surgery like Lasik, PRK, LASEK, or Epi-Lasik may be used to treat astigmatism after cataract surgery.
Your doctor would be able to let you know the details.

Lasik eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and Lasik surgery in India by a company called Indian Health Guru Consultants. The Price for dental and Lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.
Indian Health Guru Consultants is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, Lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.
They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
Hope this helps.
