If cough is persistent or productive, reschedule surgery. A chest physician should assess her fitness for anesthesia.

Question

My father needs cataract surgery and the doctor prescribed Phaco Emulsification with PCIOL left in local anaesthesia. I don't fully understand what PCIOL means is it the same as the Alcon AcrySof IQ monofocal lens? I'm considering the Alcon AcrySof IQ lens for him but want to know more about its features is it hydrophobic, aspheric, and UV-protected? Also, is it preloaded? Where can I find detailed info about this lens? What's the difference between the Alcon AcrySof IQ and the PCIOL mentioned in the prescription? Just trying to make sure we pick the best option for his surgery.

Question

I've been researching Femto LASIK and SMILE LASIK for my vision correction but I'm a bit confused about the differences between them. Which one is safer and has fewer complications? I'm worried about recovery time and long-term effects can you explain which procedure might be better for someone with moderate myopia?

Question

I'm 20 and keep failing medical eye exams because of vision issues in my left eye. Even with spectacles, I can't see words clearly. Would LASIK surgery help fix this so I can pass the medical exam? Are there other treatments I should consider?
