I had PRK surgery 6 months ago and my doctor told me to keep using preservative-free lubricant drops three times a day plus gel at bedtime for another 3 months. Is it safe to use them for this long or could there be any side effects from extended use?

Question

my ICL surgery was done a week ago but I still can't see nearby things clearly and at night there are circles around lights is this temporary or something else I should be worried about

I'm planning to get Lasik eye surgery soon but I'm really confused about which type to choose. There are so many options like SMILE, iFS, and others, and I want to make sure I pick the safest and most suitable one for my eyes. My current prescription is RE 7.50 SPH 1.50 CYL 180 AXIS Vision 66 and LE 8.00 SPH 0.75 CYL 180 AXIS Vision 66. Can you help me understand which Lasik technology would work best for my high power and give me the best results? I'm a bit worried about safety and long-term effects.

Question

My mom is 58 and has some eye pressure issues. The doctor mentioned she might need YAG PI laser surgery before cataract surgery. Is this really necessary or can we skip it? I'm worried about the risks and if it's absolutely needed for her situation.
