My spherical power is 4.00 in both eyes and has been stable for a year, but now I have a new cylindrical power of 0.50. Should I hold off on LASIK surgery because of this change?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A new cylindrical power of 0.50 after a year of stable spherical power may not necessarily require you to hold off on LASIK surgery. Many surgeons consider a 0.50 diopter change stable enough for LASIK.
Dr. Kamran Suggests...
Consult a Ophthalmologist

I've heard mixed opinions some say Maxi Vision is better than LV Prasad for LASIK, but I'm not sure. Could you share your thoughts on which place has better results and care? Also, what should I look for when choosing a clinic for this procedure?
Lasik is a machine based surgery... It is equally good at all institutions In my personal opinion and experience, LV prasad is a very good institution

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
