A member asked:
Could you have a myocardial perfusion scan after a cataract operation?
3 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Yes: Modern day cataract surgery is minimally invasive and can even be done with just eye-drop (topical) anesthesia. While an implant (silicone or acrylic) is placed during the surgery, there are no restrictions on any future nuclear imaging, mri, ct scan etc..
