A wide range of things can go wrong with eye health and vision, resulting in the need for LASIK or cataract surgery. Both have high success rates, but they are entirely different surgeries. Our team of ophthalmologists and optometrists at Eye Care Associates Inc. serves patients in East Liverpool, Poland, Youngstown, and Warren, OH, with their eye care needs.
What Is the Difference Between LASIK and Cataract Surgery?
LASIK and cataract surgery involves lasers to treat eyes and provide vision correction. Both use local anesthesia while the patient is awake. Cataract surgery corrects cataracts, causing a clouding of the eye lens, while LASIK reshapes the cornea.
Benefits of LASIK
LASIK surgery can help provide clear vision in patients who no longer want to wear contact lenses or eyeglasses. Other benefits to LASIK may include little downtime, very little pain or discomfort, immediate results, and improved self-confidence. LASIK surgery is more affordable than most people think and can save money in the long run.
Benefits of Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery also has many benefits in helping patients improve their vision, protect their eye health, and increase their quality of life. Other benefits include the surgery being a quick procedure and a simple recovery with little downtime.
