How long does cataract surgery last?
It should last forever. May need to open the back of the remaining lens bag, but that would be done with a YAG laser, not surgery.
Can LASIK be used to change iris color?
No. LASIK uses laser to change the cornea, not the iris. The iris is the colored portion of the eye, not the cornea.
Should I take blood pressure medicine with glaucoma?
No. You need a medication that acts on aqueous humor production. Blood pressure medication does not.
