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've been wearing glasses since I was 9 and switched to contact lenses for the past 6 years. My eyesight keeps getting worse every year right now, my left eye is SPH 8.00 CYL 1.75 AX 140 BC 8.7 DIA 14.5 and my right eye is SPH 8.00 CYL 1.25 AX 030 BC 8.7 DIA 14.5. I'm really worried because I can't imagine living without contacts. Is there any way to stop my vision from worsening or even improve it? I'm 21 now are there any surgery options that could help fix this?
