Shivering and fever after cataract surgery, especially a fever above 100.4¬∞F (38¬∞C) for two days, could be a sign of a postoperative fever, a common occurrence after any surgery. While it's usually not serious and resolves on its own, it's important to monitor the symptoms and seek medical advice if it persists or is accompanied by other concerning signs.

I live in a city where no doctors offer Contoura vision surgery, so I'd have to fly elsewhere to get it done. But I'm not sure if I'm even a good candidate for it I don't want to travel all that way just to find out I can't get the procedure. Here are my details: RE sph -1.75 cyl -1.60 axis 15 VA 20/20 LE sph -1.50 cyl -1.25 axis 7 VA 20/20 IPD 69 My eye pressure is healthy, I have very mild dry eyes (not severe), and I've been diagnosed with astigmatism and myopia. Could I possibly be a candidate for Contoura vision?

Get a pre-op screening first; if eligible, only then travel‚Äîmost centers will assess your eye shape and thickness.
