My mom is 50 and needs cataract surgery but she's also dealing with tooth pain right now. Is it safe to proceed with the eye surgery or should we address the dental issue first?

Cataract surgery can usually proceed but active dental infection should be treated first to avoid complications.

My eye power is 2.25 in both eyes and I really want to stop wearing spectacles. Is there any treatment or surgery that can help me with this? Could you suggest what options I have?

With a prescription of 2.25 in both eyes, you are a good candidate for vision correction options like LASIK or PRK surgery, which can reduce or eliminate the need for glasses. Alternatively, you could consider corrective contact lenses or newer procedures like SMILE. It’s important to have a thorough eye exam to determine the best and safest option for you.
