Losing LASIK records generally won't affect future cataract surgery, as the main concern is the health of your eyes. However, knowing your LASIK history can help with understanding any changes in eye health over time.

I've had a small white bump near the inner corner of my eye for a few months my doctor said it's a cyst. It doesn't hurt or grow but looks odd. They mentioned surgery if it doesn't go away on its own, but I'd rather try an antibiotic ointment first. Any recommendations for something effective?

Milia is a common skin condition that causes small white bumps (cysts) under the surface of your skin. About 40% to 50% of U.S. newborns have milia. Adults can get milia too. Treatment isn't necessary because milia are harmless and go away on their own.
