Is it safe to have an MRI after cataract surgery?

JUL 26, 2017

Question:

Is it safe to have an MRI body scan if I had cataract surgery two years ago?

Answer:

Yes, it's safe. However, any interior magnetic items (such as a pacemaker or inner ear implant) should always be discussed with your doctor before an MRI.
