What's the recovery time like after phaco and laser cataract surgery with an imported IOL lens and are there any common side effects I should be aware of
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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

View allI've had vision problems since I was a kid started at -2 and now it's -7. No doctor has been able to tell me if it's curable. Are there any treatment options besides surgery that could help improve my eyesight?
A prescription of -7 in eyesight indicates a high level of nearsightedness, also known as myopia. It means that the eye's lens needs a powerful negative lens to focus light correctly onto the retina, allowing for clear vision at close distances but making it difficult to see distant objects clearly. This condition typically requires glasses or contact lenses for proper vision correction

I've had esotropia squint eye since childhood and recently found out surgery might be an option. Is squint surgery really the best treatment with no risks or are there other alternatives I could consider? I'm not happy with how it looks and want to explore solutions.
Squint surgery (strabismus surgery) is a common and often effective treatment for esotropia, but it's not a perfect solution with no risks. While surgery can correct eye alignment and improve binocular vision, there are other non-surgical options to consider, and potential risks associated with surgery should be discussed with your doctor.
