I'm really curious about the timeline for getting Lasik surgery. From the initial check-up to the actual procedure, does it take months, or can it all be done in just a few days? Also, how many days will I need to recover? And what's the deal with going back to workcan I return to the office right after the surgery?

In 2 weeks you will be fine after surgery,3 months is needed for complete recovery, take adequate rest and follow your doctor advice.

View allI'm really considering getting the C3R treatment, but I'm curious if its a one-time thing or if it needs to be done again later on. Also, are there any side effects I should be aware of before going ahead with it?
Taking an HIV test voluntarily is a responsible and proactive step. *Voluntary HIV Testing* 1. *Yes, you can take an HIV test voluntarily*: Many healthcare providers, clinics, and testing centers offer HIV testing without a doctor's referral. 2. *Types of HIV tests*: Common HIV tests include: - Rapid tests (results in 15-30 minutes) - Blood tests (results in 1-2 weeks) - Oral fluid tests (results in 15-30 minutes) 3. *Confidentiality*: HIV testing is confidential, and your results will be shared only with you. *HIV Testing After Possible Exposure* 1. *Window period*: HIV tests can detect the virus after a certain window period, which varies depending on the test: - Rapid tests: 23-90 days - Blood tests: 18-45 days - Oral fluid tests: 23-90 days 2. *Recommended testing schedule*: After possible exposure, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend: - Testing at 13-18 days after exposure (for early detection) - Testing again at 45-60 days after exposure (for confirmation) - Final testing at 90 days after exposure (for conclusive results) 3. *One-year testing*: If you're concerned about exposure one year ago, it's still essential to get tested. However, the CDC recommends testing within the first 90 days after exposure for accurate results. *Next Steps* 1. *Find a testing center*: Locate a nearby HIV testing center or healthcare provider that offers HIV testing. 2. *Discuss your concerns*: Share your concerns and exposure history with the testing center or healthcare provider. 3. *Get tested*: Take the recommended HIV test, and follow up with additional testing as recommended.

I'm Nikhil and I'm from Bangalore. I'm 28 and I've developed this swollen bump on my upper eyelid on the right side. It's a bit itchy and I feel some pain, especially towards the edge. I've attached a photo for context. Could you help me figure out what this might be and what I should do to get rid of it?
That could be Chalazion,do not try to squeeze it,it will resolve on its own, visit Ophthalmologist for appropriate management
