[QUOTE="ultimase, post: 1474943, member: 12936"] Yes and no. The main reason cataract surgery isn't done on everyone with refractive complains is that it is an invasive surgery. While refractive surgery is done to the front of the cornea, or at one of the layers of the cornea, cataract surgery is surgery that is actually in the anterior chamber of the eye. You have a much greater chance of complications (although very rare). Refractive surgery deals with making the image clear on the retina, cataract surgery must be done when the image cannot be clear on the retina because of the cataract. These are two entirely different surgeries for different purposes. [/QUOTE]
