Question

My wife is 31 and has been wearing glasses for the past 10 years. She's considering FemtoLasik but I'm really worried about her safety. Is she a good candidate for this surgery and what are the real risks involved? Should she go ahead with FemtoLasik or is it safer to just stick with glasses and contacts since ReLEx SMILE isn't available here yet?

Question

My father needs cataract surgery but he also has diabetes. I'm a bit worried and wanted to ask what sugar level is considered safe for the surgery? Also, if the cataract is fully matured, is laser surgery better or should we go for manual? And could you suggest the best doctor in Pune for diabetic patients needing cataract surgery someone with high success rates? I've heard about Sankara Netralaya in Chennai would you recommend going there instead?
