My 65-year-old mom has a cold with yellow mucus when she coughs. Is it safe for her to get eye surgery right now or should we wait?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's generally recommended to postpone non-urgent surgery, like eye surgery, when a patient has a cold, especially with yellow mucus, due to the risk of complications and potential for the surgery to be affected by an infection. Yellow mucus indicates an infection, which can make surgery more risky.

View allI'm a 22-year-old female with retinal thinning in my right eye that's under control, but my doctor recommended surgery if I want to keep running and exercising. I run fast daily and do push-ups and crunches, plus I have a violent sneezing problem. If I avoid weights and gymnastics, am I still at risk of detachment without surgery?

I had surgery about a month and a half ago, and my daytime vision is clear, but as soon as evening comes, everything gets really blurry. Even small text inside or outside looks hazy in artificial light, though it's sharp in sunlight or mornings. Is this normal? The blurriness in low light is uncomfortable and makes it hard to see details.
Yes, this is a common experience after surgery, particularly eye surgery like LASIK or cataract surgery. Blurry vision, especially in low light, can be a temporary side effect as your eyes and brain adjust to the new conditions. It's often related to healing processes, dry eyes, or how the eye processes light.
