Can Cataract Surgery Reactivate Previous Condition?
JUL 02, 2014
Question:
Will having cataract surgery reactivate my chorioretinal scars (damaged tissue in the back of the eye), which might lead to blindness?
Answer:
It would be very rare for an uncomplicated cataract surgery to reactivate the process which caused the chorioretinal scars. Nothing is 100 percent, but I would say that it is highly unlikely for this to happen. I suggest you talk with your ophthalmologist.
