I'm a bit worried because I had LASIK on both eyes about 15 years ago, and I don't have any records of it anymore. Neither does the surgeon's office. If I ever need cataract surgery, will the lack of these records be a problem? Is there any technology available that can help in determining the right intraocular lens for me?

Yes,no need of the previous records, surgery would be planned based on the current status of your eye
