My mom needs cataract surgery but her ECG came back abnormal is it still safe for her to go through with the procedure? What should we consider before moving forward?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
An abnormal ECG before cataract surgery requires careful evaluation. It's crucial to consult with a cardiologist to assess the risk of cardiac complications during and after the procedure. The ophthalmologist and cardiologist will work together to determine if the surgery is safe and what precautions, if any, are needed

View allMy 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.
For cataract surgery, a monofocal Intraocular Lens (IOL) provides clear vision at a single distance (usually far vision), while a multifocal IOL offers vision at multiple distances (near, intermediate, and far). Multifocal IOLs generally cost more but may reduce the need for glasses after surgery. Cataract surgery costs in India vary significantly, typically ranging from INR 25,000 to INR 1,20,000, depending on the IOL type and hospital

I've been wearing specs with a power of 4 and I'm considering laser surgery to get rid of them. Is it safe for my eye power? What's the recovery like and are there any side effects I should know about?
Yes, it's generally safe to undergo laser eye surgery with a prescription of 4.00, and it's considered a good candidate for LASIK. The procedure aims to correct refractive errors, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses. Recovery is usually quick, with most patients regaining vision within a few days. While generally safe, there are potential side effects to be aware of.
