A Patient's Guide to Cataract Surgery: Normal and LASIK Reshaped Cornea - Paperback

by Kady Dash (Author)

Most people will require cataract surgery at some point in their lives. How do you know when it is time for cataract surgery? How is having cataract surgery after LASIK surgery different? This book prepares you for what to expect before, during, and after the surgery.

This book offers first-hand accounts of cataract surgery that only patients themselves could provide. It describes the details of four surgeries: two cataract surgeries performed after LASIK surgery, and two performed without any LASIK surgery history.

In this book you will learn:

• What are cataracts and how do you know when you need surgery for them?
• What surgery options are available?
• To what extent does insurance cover the surgery?
• What do you need to know if you've previously had LASIK surgery?
• What are the likely outcomes and possible complications of cataract surgery?
• How does the person feel and see before, after, and during surgery?

Be informed, be prepared, and have a better outcome.
