My dad is 61 and had CABG surgery two weeks ago. He lost vision in his left eye 23 days before the surgery. The optician recommended eye injections, but since he just had heart surgery, when is it safe to treat his eye problem?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's crucial to consult with both the ophthalmologist and your father's cardiac surgeon or cardiologist to determine the safest timing for eye treatment. Two weeks after CABG surgery, the body is still in a recovery phase, and any procedure could potentially put additional strain on the heart or interfere with the healing process.

is it possible to correct my 1.75 eye power without surgery since I'm only 17 years old
Yes, it is possible to correct a 1.75 diopter (1.75 eye power) without surgery, even at your age. While the most common and permanent solution for vision correction is surgery (like LASIK), there are other options available, including eyeglasses, contact lenses, and even certain treatments that can help slow the progression of myopia (nearsightedness), which is a common cause of needing glasses or contacts. Since you're 17, your eyes may still be developing, and it's worth exploring all options with an eye doctor
