My father has been diagnosed with cataract and I'm confused about the best treatment option. There are so many choices with different prices SICS costs around 9000-12500rs, phaco ranges from 18000-35000rs, and MICS is around 44000rs. Which one would be the most effective and safe for him? I want to make sure he gets the right care without unnecessary expenses. Can you explain the differences between these treatments and recommend the best one?

I had SMILE surgery done 15 days ago and my job requires me to stare at screens all day. Will using the computer or watching TV for long hours mess with my healing or the final results of the surgery?

After the surgery, prioritize rest and avoid straining your vision. This means refraining from using screens, such as TVs, laptops, computers, and phones, for the first 24 hours to prevent worsening dryness in the eyes.

My mom needs cataract surgery but her ECG came back abnormal is it still safe for her to go through with the procedure? What should we consider before moving forward?

An abnormal ECG before cataract surgery requires careful evaluation. It's crucial to consult with a cardiologist to assess the risk of cardiac complications during and after the procedure. The ophthalmologist and cardiologist will work together to determine if the surgery is safe and what precautions, if any, are needed
