View allI had CXL surgery for keratoconus 5 years ago and want to start going to the gym. Can I do strength training exercises like pushups, situps, lunges, planks, squats, and jumping jacks without worrying about increased intraocular pressure or my keratoconus getting worse?
Yes, you can generally do strength training exercises like push-ups, sit-ups, lunges, planks, squats, and jumping jacks after CXL surgery for keratoconus without worrying about significant increases in intraocular pressure (IOP) or your keratoconus progressing further. CXL surgery strengthens the cornea, helping to slow down the progression of keratoconus. While exercise can temporarily increase IOP, it's usually not a major concern for individuals who have had CXL surgery

My mom had cataract surgery yesterday and now she's having shivering and fever Is this normal after the procedure What could be causing this
Shivering and fever after cataract surgery, especially a fever above 100.4°F (38°C) for two days, could be a sign of a postoperative fever, a common occurrence after any surgery. While it's usually not serious and resolves on its own, it's important to monitor the symptoms and seek medical advice if it persists or is accompanied by other concerning signs.
