View allI have to undergo a medical exam for Indian Railways where LASIK or similar vision correction surgeries aren't allowed, but my only shot at being medically fit is to get LASIK or SMILE since I wear glasses. If I opt for SMILE, which has a tiny incision and no flap, will they still be able to detect it during the exam?
This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

I've had floaters for about a year now and they're really bothering me, especially when I'm trying to work on my laptop. Since I've had cataract surgery in both eyes, could that be making the floaters worse or causing these vision issues
While floaters are common after cataract surgery, they don't necessarily mean something is wrong. Cataract surgery improves vision, potentially making existing floaters more noticeable. If you're experiencing a sudden increase in floaters, especially with flashes of light or vision loss, see your eye doctor immediately as this could indicate a serious condition like a retinal tear or detachment.
