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.

I had LASIK done a while back but I lost all the records from the procedure. If I need cataract surgery later on, will not having those LASIK details cause problems for my vision or eye health?
LASIK history helps in planning cataract surgery later but not always mandatory.Special imaging and intraocular lens selection may still allow safe surgery.

My eye power is -9 and -10 and still increasing. Which LASIK surgery would be the best option for me given my high prescription? I'm a bit worried about stability since my vision keeps changing.
Please wait till your glass number stabilizes. After that you can meet with your local cornea specialist who will do a couple of tests and then advise which refractive surgery is best suited for you
