Is cataract surgery safe during the rainy season or is it better to wait for winter? I've heard humidity and infections might be higher in monsoon and worried about recovery. Does the weather really affect the surgery outcome or healing process?

Cataract surgery is generally safe year-round; infection control practices matter more than weather.

I had LASIK surgery last month on the 18th but my vision still feels blurry in both eyes. My right eye is slightly better but has some dullness, while my left eye sees double red lights when looking at red-colored light. Is this normal after LASIK or should I be concerned?

While some degree of blurry vision and halos/glare are common after LASIK, seeing double red lights is not typical and warrants a follow-up with your surgeon. It's crucial to address this, especially if the symptoms persist beyond the first few weeks of recovery

I had LASIK done a year ago to stop wearing glasses but I lost the documents. The clinic refused to give me a copy are those records really needed for future cataract surgery? Can I still get cataract surgery later if I don't have the LASIK records?

ophthal opinion is advised to the patient.
