Cataracts and lasik surgery
I have recently been told by a gentleman that works in a lasik eye clinic that once you have lasik surgery to correct astigmatism, you can never have successful cataract surgery. Is there any truth to this? And if so, why? Thanks a million!!!

And, pardon me, but I am a professional.. the fact that my profession is cleaning barns shouldn't impact on my credibility...
-I asked my optometrist, a Harley Street practitioner, about getting laser eye surgery, and he told me of the proportion of patients having permanent damage to their eyes, and suggested that I wait until they perfect it. Boots just withdrew the service due to unreliability of the machines and subsequent liability.
-If you have any eye focus problem, the procedure by which most cataracts are corrected allows for the insertion of an artificial lense behind the cornea.
If I told you I was a professional, would that make my answer bear more weight to you? If you want professional advice, don't go to the internet for it. Mind you, I wouldn't rely completely on the advice I got from 'professionals' either. LOL.
Apologize to Natalie, by the way.
