I had LASIK done a while back but I lost all the records from the procedure. If I need cataract surgery later on, will not having those LASIK details cause problems for my vision or eye health?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
LASIK history helps in planning cataract surgery later but not always mandatory.Special imaging and intraocular lens selection may still allow safe surgery.

I had squint eye surgery last year but might need another one will a second surgery definitely fix my eyes this time or is there still a chance it won't work?
A second squint surgery can correct residual deviation but success depends on muscle healing, previous scarring, and proper alignment planning.

My friend's left eye power is 14 and right eye is 12 is laser surgery safe for such high numbers? He's worried about risks since his prescription seems pretty strong
Laser eye surgery can be safe for high prescriptions, but it's not always the best option and depends on individual factors. While LASIK is generally safe, very high prescriptions like 14 and 12 diopters may be close to or beyond the typical limits of correction for LASIK. In such cases, other options like ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) or other refractive surgeries might be more suitable. It's crucial for your friend to consult with an experienced refractive surgeon to determine the best course of action for their specific case
