I'm highly myopic and considering strabismus surgery but worried about pain and double vision afterward does the procedure hurt and how common are these risks for someone with severe nearsightedness?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Strabismus surgery generally involves minimal pain, with most patients experiencing mild discomfort that can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Double vision (diplopia) is a more common concern, but it's often temporary, with many experiencing a significant improvement within the first few weeks. While severe nearsightedness (high myopia) doesn't necessarily increase the risk of pain or double vision, it can be a factor in the success of the surgery and the need for post-operative adjustments, so it's important to discuss this with your surgeon

View allMy mother has been diagnosed with early-stage cataracts in both eyes but they're not fully formed yet. Should she consider surgery now or wait until they're more advanced? Also, is it safe to operate on both eyes within two days one eye one day and the next eye the following day? What else should we keep in mind about the procedure and recovery?
It's generally advisable to have cataract surgery when it starts impacting daily life, whether the cataracts are early or more advanced. Waiting for cataracts to fully mature isn't necessary and can sometimes lead to complications. Operating on both eyes within two days, one day per eye, is generally considered safe and can be beneficial for quicker recovery and convenience. However, individual circumstances and medical history should be discussed with the ophthalmologist
