What happens if the sphincter muscle in the eye gets cut or damaged during cataract surgery and how do doctors fix this issue
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
If the sphincter muscle, responsible for pupillary constriction, is damaged during cataract surgery, the pupil may become dilated and may not react properly to light. Doctors can often fix this through surgical repair of the iris, which may include suturing the sphincter muscle and potentially repositioning or replacing the intraocular lens if it's also affected

View allI had LASIK surgery last month on the 18th but my vision still feels blurry in both eyes. My right eye is slightly better but has some dullness, while my left eye sees double red lights when looking at red-colored light. Is this normal after LASIK or should I be concerned?
While some degree of blurry vision and halos/glare are common after LASIK, seeing double red lights is not typical and warrants a follow-up with your surgeon. It's crucial to address this, especially if the symptoms persist beyond the first few weeks of recovery

I have a power of 9 with slightly stronger vision in my right eye. My glasses are really heavy and thick, making me uncomfortable and less confident in daily life practically blind without them. I'm unsure if LASIK surgery would even help my case. What options do I have to improve my vision without relying on such heavy glasses?
refractory corrections and visual acuity tests are advised.
