Question 1

My mom needs cataract surgery but her ECG came back abnormal is it still safe for her to go through with the procedure? What should we consider before moving forward?

Accepted Answer

An abnormal ECG before cataract surgery requires careful evaluation. It's crucial to consult with a cardiologist to assess the risk of cardiac complications during and after the procedure. The ophthalmologist and cardiologist will work together to determine if the surgery is safe and what precautions, if any, are needed

Question 2

I had relex smile surgery about 1.5 years ago and now I'm dealing with irregular astigmatism in my left eye causing ghosting vision. My right eye isn't fully 66 vision either, plus I have starbursts and glare both day and night. Could these issues affect my chances of appearing for SSC or army entrance exams

Accepted Answer

Yes, irregular astigmatism, especially with ghosting vision and glare, could negatively affect your chances of being accepted into the SSC or Army. While ReLEx SMILE surgery is generally safe and effective, post-operative issues like irregular astigmatism and visual distortions can impact your eligibility. Army and SSC entrance exams often have strict vision standards to ensure candidates can perform their duties effectively.

Question 3

I had LASIK surgery last month on the 18th but my vision still feels blurry in both eyes. My right eye is slightly better but has some dullness, while my left eye sees double red lights when looking at red-colored light. Is this normal after LASIK or should I be concerned?

Accepted Answer

While some degree of blurry vision and halos/glare are common after LASIK, seeing double red lights is not typical and warrants a follow-up with your surgeon. It's crucial to address this, especially if the symptoms persist beyond the first few weeks of recovery

ophthal opinion is advised to the patient.
