Given retinal history, cataract surgery should be done at a center with retinal backup‚Äîlook for a tertiary eye care hospital or retina specialist for best outcome.

Question

About a year ago I had LASIK surgery but now my left eye is suddenly red and swollen. I'm using Lubrex drops 6 times a day but it's not helping. What could be causing this and should I be worried?

My mother has cataracts in both eyes and the doctor recommended surgery for her right eye soon before it gets worse. Can you help me understand how to choose between monofocal and multifocal IOLs? What are the costs for each type in India, and how long is the recovery after surgery? Also, what precautions should she take post-surgery? I'd like to know all the options available for cataract surgery and their costs.

Question

I've had squint eyes since birth and I'm 27 now. I've learned to live with it, but if there's a way to fix it without surgery, I'd love to know more. Are there any non-surgical treatments or exercises that could help correct squint eyes?
