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.
Hi Cookie ,Had both eyes done last year with no issues , and the results are amazing! The brightness of colours and the clarity of vision you won’t believe!
Regards
Lynne
