I'm 58 years old and have a mildly decayed tooth causing some pain. I need to get cataract surgery in the next couple of days will the tooth issue affect the procedure or anesthesia? Should I delay the surgery or can I go ahead as planned?

View allI had a blunt eye injury that caused vision loss is there any surgery that could help restore my sight?
Yes, depending on the severity and nature of the blunt eye injury, surgical intervention may be possible to help restore vision. However, complete vision restoration is not always guaranteed, especially with significant trauma.

My corneal thickness is 576 and 582 and I've been told my corneas are steep with mean K values of 48 and 46.2 but no signs of keratoconus progression. I'm scheduled for Femto LASIK wavefront-guided surgery at AIIMS Delhi with Dr. Jeewan Singh Titiyal, who's a Padma Shri awardee. They estimate my post-op corneal thickness will be 390 and 350 in each eye with a BCVA of 69. I'm worried about complications like irregular flap creation, gas bubble breakthrough, buttonholes, or wrinkles how likely are these in my case given my corneal thickness and steepness? Does a thinner cornea increase these risks?
Your case requires careful surgical planning. Thinner corneas may increase LASIK risks but expert surgeons like Dr. Titiyal manage this well. Discuss CXL if needed.

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.
