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?

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.

I have a power of 6.5 with a slight squint in my right eye. I really want to get rid of my glasses and also fix the squint. Can I go for LASIK first and then get squint surgery later, or should I do it the other way around? What's the best approach for this?

It's generally recommended to address the squint (strabismus) before considering LASIK surgery, especially with a high refractive error like yours. LASIK can sometimes affect eye muscle balance, potentially making the squint worse. A consultation with a strabismus specialist and your ophthalmologist is crucial to determine the best course of action.

My right eye power is 2.75 and left is 3. I wear contact lenses for about 10 hours daily and had laser surgery 10 years ago. For the last 3 years, my vision has been blurry. Can this be corrected? I prefer Ayurveda and take triphala powder with water every night. Are there any medicines, exercises, or dietary changes that could help me stop depending on glasses or contacts
