My mom has been coughing a lot lately and she's scheduled for cataract surgery on January 18th is it safe for her to go ahead with the surgery given her cough
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
If cough is persistent or productive, reschedule surgery. A chest physician should assess her fitness for anesthesia.

Is LASIK surgery actually safe in the long run? I've heard mixed things about potential risks or complications years after the procedure and it's making me hesitant to go through with it
LASIK surgery is generally considered a safe procedure with a high success rate, and most patients experience long-term benefits. While there are potential risks and complications, serious long-term issues are rare, and most patients maintain clear vision for many years.

I had PRK surgery 4 months ago and my right eye is 66 vision while the left is 69. With pinhole, the left eye goes to 66. My doctor found a scratch on the corneal stroma in my left eye and prescribed fluorometholone drops with lubricants. I've been using them for 2 months but my vision isn't improving to match the right eye. Why isn't it getting better and what else can be done?
After PRK surgery, if your vision hasn’t improved, the cause might be related to the corneal scratch or dry eye. Further treatments like additional lubrication, steroids, or corrective measures may be required.
