A member asked:
Can i have out patient cataract surgery if i'm 3 weeks pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Just make sure the ophthalmologist and the anesthesiologist know you are pregnant and remember that most miscarriages occur in the first 12 weeks and the surgery will not decrease that risk ( most studies suggest about 1 in 4). Hope this helps.
