Cataract formation involves the clouding of the natural lens of the eye without impacting the cornea. On the other hand, LASIK does not impact cataracts in any way; it cannot prevent, improve, or create them. Cataracts can be corrected through an artificial lens implant surgery. To learn more about LASIK, or if another type of refractive surgery may be more appropriate to free you from the hassle of glasses and contact lenses, please book online for a free laser vision assessment on our website today.
