Which procedure is better between LASIK and PRK when it comes to quality of vision after surgery and post-operative pain? I've heard there can be other issues after surgery too. Also, my corneal thickness is 495 um with a power of 3.50 in both eyes, and all my topography tests came back normal. Would LASIK or PRK be the better option for me to get rid of my glasses?

With normal topography and 495 μm corneal thickness, PRK is safer than LASIK and has less risk of complications; PRK has slightly more pain initially but similar long-term vision quality.

My grandmother had cataract surgery about 2 months ago and I'm wondering what foods would help her recovery. Is it okay for her to eat chicken, meat, and eggs or should she avoid certain things?
Yes, she can eat chicken, eggs, and meat. Encourage high-protein, soft, vitamin-rich foods. Avoid overly spicy or fried food until full healing.
