Top 10 Questions on Second Opinions - Premium Cataract or Lens Replacement Surgery. Shannon Wong, MD
Question #9: How to I start the process of coming to see you?
If you are dissatisfied with the way you see with your lens implants, we recommend the following FIRST:
1. Consult with your original surgeon and ask them if they can work with you to improve your vision with glasses, eyedrops or additional surgery.
2. If your original surgeon is unable or unwilling to offer you an acceptable solution, then we recommend that you seek a second opinion with a reputable ophthalmologist/eye surgeon in your area.
Please call our office to speak with our team who will walk-you through the process of scheduling your initial exam and possible surgical procedures.
**If you have already had cataract or premium lens replacement surgery and would like to have your original lens removed and replaced with a different lens implant we NEED to have the following information to help improve the safety and accuracy of your next surgery:
1. Biometry measurements of your eyes before your original cataract or premium lens replacement surgery. These measurements are also known as “Lenstar” or “IOL Master” measurements. These measurements can be obtained by the surgeon who performed your original surgery.
2. The lens implant information or lens implant card that specifies the power, type and serial number of the lens implant for the eye that received surgery.
It is extremely helpful obtain from your original surgeon
