View allI'm getting LASIK surgery at AIIMS Delhi in July for astigmatism, but I'm worried about human error in the prescription. Since refraction tests are subjective, how do surgeons make sure they program the machine exactly right? What if my astigmatism axis or power is slightly off on surgery day? Do they recheck my eye power right before the procedure to avoid mistakes?

My dad had bypass surgery five years ago and has been on blood thinners since then. Now he needs cataract surgery and the eye doctor advised stopping his blood thinners for a week. Is it really necessary to stop them, and could stopping the meds cause any risks for his heart condition?
cardiologist opinion is advised.

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.
PCIOL stands for Posterior Chamber Intraocular Lens, and yes, Alcon AcrySof IQ is a type of PCIOL.
