Cataract Surgery

[Cookie24]

Hello,

Has anyone had cataract surgery done while in an afib or aflutter episode? Please share your experience, if you will.

I have been in permanent AF for6 Years I have had two cateract surgeries without issue.

I had eye surgery for retinal detachment - more intrusive than cataract and a longer procedure - no effect on my AF and they were not concerned about the anticoagulant Apixaban. Good luck

I am also in permanent AF and have pacemaker implanted for HF. I have had 2 cataract ops with no issues. The one bit of my body that now functions better!

I wasn't actually in a-fib when I had two cataract surgeries, but neither triggered an a-fib episode.
