Haai…Lasik and Phaco are two entirely diffrent surgeries. Lasik is done to correct refractory errors like Myopia, Hyperopia and Astigmatism. Phaco is done to remove cataracts. Cataract is a opacification of the natural lens inside the eye. Lasik is done externally on the cornea.
So you cannot alternate lasik and Phaco.
