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

I'm really concerned about potential side effects like bad night vision, halos, and chronic dry eye after the surgery how likely are these to happen? What are the success rates for someone with my prescription? Could LASIK actually get me to a point where I don't need glasses anymore?

It is possible to get LASIK surgery with a +5.00 diopter prescription for hyperopia (farsightedness) in one eye and a similar prescription in the other eye, but it depends on several factors, including corneal thickness and overall eye health. A consultation with an ophthalmologist is crucial to determine if you are a suitable candidate.

My son just had cataract surgery and the doctor prescribed steroid and antibiotic eye drops along with homide eye drops what exactly does the homide drop do for his recovery?
The Homide eye drops, containing homatropine, are used in cataract surgery to dilate the pupil and reduce muscle spasms. This helps the ophthalmologist visualize the eye better during surgery and also helps to relax the eye muscles. Homatropine is a muscarinic antagonist, which means it blocks the effects of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that controls eye muscle movement
