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?

Sick? Talk to a doctor now

My grandmother recently saw an opthalmologist for some minor eye discomfort and was told she has a small motibindu that just started. The doctor recommended cataract surgery, but she can see everything clearly, even reads books without any darkness in her vision. Is surgery really necessary at this stage?

No, in most cases, cataract surgery isn't immediately necessary when vision is still good, even with a small cataract. Cataracts develop gradually, and early stages often don't significantly affect vision Waiting to see how the cataract progresses and how it impacts daily activities is a common approach.
