Question by Mimi: 14y/o had cataract surgery at 1y/o .Which surgery comes first lens implant or astigmatism? Does it matter?

Best answer:

Answer by Hillbert
Depends — unless it’s a large amount of astigmatism, it usually is “both”. You either get a toric lens implant, or limbal relaxing incisions (which goes by different names; basically small incisions that make the cornea more spherical when it heals). A toric lens would be implanted instead of a ‘regular’ (spherical) one, whereas the other corneal incisions are usually done at the same time as the regular lens implant. Either way, it shouldn’t make much difference.

I`ve done some Research and most of the things I get are from Bruce Fife’s words. I`ve read both are effective in cataract. Only i think it’s unknown whether they can reverse the operation.
Two years back, i`ve watched a TV segment concerning on Coconut oil and I`ve watched a man who puts it on his eye by drops and covers his eye with a warm damp washcloth.
Only I am confused. My research is currently on coconut water. And I want to change it to coconut oil.
Please help me.
