For roles under the B-1 standard, LASIK surgery does not disqualify a candidate, provided they meet the specified vision criteria. Applicants need to ensure that their corrected vision after LASIK adheres to the distance and near vision requirements

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?

A diabetic patient with a blood glucose level of 140 to 200mg/dL is considered as maximum when opting for cataract surgery. Surgeons can relax on the phaco energy, running of fluid through the eyes. Poor pupillary dilation and careless procedure can cause damage to the intraocular lens.
