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

Recovery from phaco and laser cataract surgery with an imported IOL lens typically takes 4-6 weeks. While most patients see improved vision within days, full healing and stabilization of eye power can take that long. Common side effects include mild discomfort, redness, light sensitivity, and blurred vision, which usually resolve within the first week

Can PRK surgery be detected during a railway medical exam since it's not allowed for the job I know LASIK is also banned but I'm more worried about PRK showing up on their eye tests
PRK can be detected during a railway medical exam, although it's not as easily detected as LASIK. While LASIK involves creating a flap that can be seen, PRK doesn't, making it more difficult to detect with standard slit lamp examinations. However, advanced tests like corneal topography can detect PRK, and some residual scarring from PRK can also be visible on slit lamp examination.
