Regression after LASIK is rare but possible with age or eye strain; annual checkups are advised to detect early changes and prevent complications.

just had cataract surgery this morning and was told to use eye drops but my eyes are also watery from a cold can i take cold medicine too or will it interfere with the surgery

After cataract surgery, it‚Äôs safe to take cold medicine, but be cautious if it contains decongestants, as they can increase blood pressure. It‚Äôs best to consult your eye doctor for specific instructions about medications during recovery.

i'm trying to decide between contoura vision and smile surgery but i'm confused about the side effects and why contoura is considered better even though it's cheaper than smile can you explain which one would be the better option overall

Contoura offers better customization for corneal irregularities; SMILE has less dry eye and no flap. Choose based on your corneal thickness and lifestyle. Consult a refractive surgeon for suitability.
