My maternal grandmother needs cataract surgery but she's around 75-80 years old and has paralysis on her right side since 2016. She can walk slowly with her right leg but can't move her right hand or speak. She takes Preva As 150mg, Coltro 20mg, Telsite 40mg, Rabeteo 20mg, and Heptaglobin syrup regularly. Given her condition, what are the chances of successful cataract surgery in both eyes and what would the cost be
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Cataract surgery is generally safe and successful, but the specific success rate and cost depend on individual factors, including age, overall health, and the severity of the cataract. While her age and paralysis may pose some challenges, cataract surgery can still be highly effective

View allI have myopia with 5 and 4 power in my right and left eye and recently started seeing flashes. I also have retinal degeneration. I've seen four doctors two recommended barrage laser as a precaution while the other two said to wait unless my retina detaches. I'm 28 and unsure if I should get the laser done now or wait. If I do go for it, should it be done in one session for both eyes or split into multiple sittings? What would you suggest?
Barrage laser can prevent retinal detachment in high-risk degeneration; it’s usually safe to do both eyes in one sitting—go ahead if advised by retina specialist.

i've had a minor squint for about 15 years after an accident most of the time it looks normal but sometimes it's noticeable would exercises help fix it or is surgery the only option
Minor squints can often be treated with exercises, but surgery may be required if exercises don’t provide sufficient improvement. Consult an ophthalmologist or optometrist for a customized treatment plan.

Small retinal detachments may be treated with laser or observation; surgery is advised if symptoms worsen or fluid spreads.
