👁️✨ LASIK vs. Cataract Surgery — Not the Same Thing!

Many people confuse LASIK and cataract surgery, but they treat different vision concerns.

🔹 LASIK reshapes the cornea to reduce dependence on glasses or contacts.

🔹 Cataract Surgery removes a cloudy lens and replaces it with a clear artificial lens to restore vision.

Think of it this way:
✅ LASIK = Correcting vision
✅ Cataract Surgery = Restoring vision

The best part? Modern cataract surgery can often improve vision and reduce the need for glasses, too.

👓 Not sure which option is right for you? An eye exam can help determine the best path to clearer vision.
