View allI have a cylindrical power of 4 in my right eye can this be corrected with surgery or are there other ways to reduce it? I'm worried about whether it's even possible to fully get rid of it
Cylindrical number or Astigmatism cannot be corrected naturally. One may be able to avoid glasses alltogether for small numbers but will require wearing glasses or contact lenses to see clearly. Of course Lasik can be performed to get rid of cylindrical number

My mom is 60 and has had cataracts for a year now she can barely see. Her pulse rate is under 42. Can she still get cataract surgery with such a low pulse rate? What should we do?
While cataract surgery is generally safe, a very low pulse rate (under 42) requires careful consideration and may necessitate further evaluation before surgery. Your mom's low pulse rate could be a sign of bradycardia, a condition where the heart beats too slowly, which may require medical intervention before surgery can proceed. It's crucial to consult with her doctor and a cardiologist to determine the cause of the low pulse rate and if it's safe to proceed with surgery
