My 72-year-old dad is scheduled for cataract surgery soon and has been regularly taking ecosprin. His cardiologist advised continuing it during the surgery since they won't be touching any nerves. Is it really safe to keep taking ecosprin before and after the cataract procedure?

View allI 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.

I have intermittent exotropia in both eyes where one eye turns out every 1-2 minutes, sometimes left and sometimes right. A squint specialist recommended surgery as the only option, suggesting a 2-muscle procedure on just one eye. He said the brain would adjust and prevent the other eye from turning out afterward. Is this approach correct? He's a pediatric ophthalmologist with 16 years of experience, but I'm unsure about only operating on one eye when both are affected. Does this sound like the right plan?
Yes he is right. As our eyes should work simultaneously. So if we do surgery on one eye, the effect will be total for both eyes. It's not like that if your right eye is going out means we have to operate that eye only . On examination, whatever the non dominant eye will be operated. And some exercises will be needed after surgery to maintain

Eye pain and head shaking have been bothering me lately, and I'm seeing floaters in my vision. I got my eyes checked 3 months ago my prescription is right eye 5.0 with 1.50 cylinder at 90 axis, left eye 5.25 with 1.25 cylinder at 90 axis. The doctor said my number is right, but I'm still having issues. Would laser eye surgery help in my case, and if so, how much would it cost?
ophthal opinion is advised to the pt.
