[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]can you get cataract surgery after you've had lasik? [/b]

to the pp who says her 60 year old grandmother had it done 20 years ago... that doesn't disprove my point (I posted earlier that I would wait til the surgery has been more time-tested. Which I suppose really means I probably won't get it in my lifetime. But by the time my kids are 30, the answers should be more clear.) I don't think there are many people who are 60 now who had it done in their mid-20s! I am guessing they will have extra complications as their eyes age. Though of course I hope that is not the case.[/quote]

I'm 21:02 (and not an eye doctor).  This did come up in my discussion with my opth. about lasik and the age 60 cut-off.  She did say that it makes treatment for cataracts more difficult so would be very reluctant to do it on me (I'm younger but with a history of glaucoma in the family).  She said some doctors cut off doing lasik on patients at age 60; some at 55. It varies from practice group to practice group.  This was all news to me so I thought I should post.[/quote]
