info on laser eye surgery

info on laser eye surgery
Can people who have had cataract surgery have laser correction?

basically my granddads eyes are totally FUBB and has had cataract surgery already but constantly breaks his glasses or loses them. It vision has recently become so poor it is effecting his quality of life.

Any info on if it is possible, links to relevant websites would be great..

Thanks

At his age it would depend on a number of things. Like what is causing his eye problems. If it is just due to a high prescription, then yes, laser surgery may be an option, but with age, there is a higher incidence of other conditions such as maucla degeneration or glaucoma that can contribute to poor sight. In these cases laser surgery will not be beneficial.

It also depends on whether there are any medical reasons or other pathology that would lead to laser treatment not being possible
