A member asked:
I had successful lasik surgery. i am 64 years, black male. excellent health, no medication. can i still get cataracts with age in future?

Yes: LASIK alters the corneal surface on the outside of the eye. Cataracts occur on this inside and are mostly age related. The presence or absence of LASIK has no influence on this so you could still get cataracts as you put on years.
