will the medical examiners be able to tell if i had lasik surgery done when i go for my recruitment tests i'm worried they might notice my eyes were corrected

During a recruitment medical exam, LASIK surgery typically won't be noticeable unless it's recent. Most examiners won‚Äôt detect past LASIK unless they specifically test for vision correction history.

I had cataract surgery 4 months ago and was prescribed systane ultra eye drops with polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol to use twice daily for a year. It's quite expensive are there any other options for managing dry eyes that might be more affordable? Sometimes my eyes still feel dry even with the drops.

ophthal opinion is advised to the pt.
