My mom has been coughing quite a lot lately, and I'm a bit worried since she's supposed to have cataract surgery on the 18th of January. Is it safe for her to go ahead with the surgery with this cough, or should she delay it? Would love to get your advice on this.

Accepted Answer

Question 2

I'm a bit worried because I had LASIK on both eyes about 15 years ago, and I don't have any records of it anymore. Neither does the surgeon's office. If I ever need cataract surgery, will the lack of these records be a problem? Is there any technology available that can help in determining the right intraocular lens for me?

Accepted Answer

Yes,no need of the previous records, surgery would be planned based on the current status of your eye

Question 3

I'm dealing with an issue for the past 5 or 6 days where I have a small pimple-like swelling at the corner of my right eye. It seems to be coming from the inside layer, and it's pretty annoying because it itches and hurts sometimes. What could be causing this? Would appreciate your advice.
