Question: I had a small retinal tear which was treated by a laser procedure in the office of the retinal specialist. He says the procedure was successful. Can this affect the outcome of cataract surgery with the implant of a monovision lens and a toric lens?
Answer: Any type of previous retinal tear, detachment, hole or other pathology requires due but not excessive caution if the Retinal Specialist has provided clearance for Cataract Surgery to a Cataract Surgeon. A monovision toric lens implant offers no additional or exceptional risk or challenge to the outcome. Follow the advice of your Retinal Specialist and Cataract Surgeon.
