My mom has been coughing quite a lot lately, and I'm a bit worried since she's supposed to have cataract surgery on the 18th of January. Is it safe for her to go ahead with the surgery with this cough, or should she delay it? Would love to get your advice on this.

Question

I'm a bit concerned because my 7-year-old daughter recently recovered from an adenovirus infection that included viral conjunctivitis, fever, and loose motion. She's doing better now, but I'm starting to notice a burning sensation and slight pinkness in my eyes. I don't have a fever or other symptoms yet, so I'm just wondering what steps I should take to address this. Any advice?

Question

I'm curious about my strabismus since I've had it since childhood. I don't have a lazy eye because both of my eyes have 69 acuity with 4D power. If I decide to get cosmetic surgery for the squint, what are the chances I'll end up with perfectly aligned eyes and no recurrence of the squint for the rest of my life? From what I've read, recurrence seems to happen mainly in people with a lazy eye, but since I'll be using both of my equally efficient eyes together after surgery, does that mean the squint might not come back? Could you guide me on this?

Question

I've been wearing glasses consistently for the last two years and taking the prescribed medicine, but my eye power hasn't improved. Is there something more I can do to help correct it, or should I be concerned about this?
