Is LASIK surgery actually safe in the long run? I've heard mixed things about potential risks or complications years after the procedure and it's making me hesitant to go through with it
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
LASIK surgery is generally considered a safe procedure with a high success rate, and most patients experience long-term benefits. While there are potential risks and complications, serious long-term issues are rare, and most patients maintain clear vision for many years.

View allMy mother has cataracts in both eyes and the doctor recommended surgery for her right eye soon before it gets worse. Can you help me understand how to choose between monofocal and multifocal IOLs? What are the costs for each type in India, and how long is the recovery after surgery? Also, what precautions should she take post-surgery? I'd like to know all the options available for cataract surgery and their costs.
For cataract surgery, a monofocal Intraocular Lens (IOL) provides clear vision at a single distance (usually far vision), while a multifocal IOL offers vision at multiple distances (near, intermediate, and far). Multifocal IOLs generally cost more but may reduce the need for glasses after surgery. Cataract surgery costs in India vary significantly, typically ranging from INR 25,000 to INR 1,20,000, depending on the IOL type and hospital

My grandmother had cataract surgery about 2 months ago and I'm wondering what foods would help her recovery. Is it okay for her to eat chicken, meat, and eggs or should she avoid certain things?
Yes, she can eat chicken, eggs, and meat. Encourage high-protein, soft, vitamin-rich foods. Avoid overly spicy or fried food until full healing.
