Is laser vision surgery a recommended treatment for cataracts?

No, laser vision surgery is not a recommended treatment for cataracts. Cataracts are a clouding of the eye's natural lens, and they are typically treated with cataract surgery, which involves removing the clouded lens and replacing it with an artificial lens. Laser vision surgery, such as LASIK or PRK, is used to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, and it does not address the underlying issue of cataracts.
