Is it wise to go for eyesight correction with LASIK or Smile RELEX at the age of 37 if presbyopia is likely to happen at 40?

Who is eligible for LASIK and Lenticule Treatments? LASIK or lenticule treatments like SMILE and the upcoming CLEAR by Ziemer are refractive laser surgeries that can be done from 18 to 60 years old, including people with presbyopia. The aim is to reduce our dependence on glasses and contact lenses. Are LASIK and Lenticule Treatments Suitable for People Close to Presbyopic Age? For those who are close to presbyopic age, I usually offer a trial of monovision with trial frames (trial glasses in the clinic) and aim for a small residual myopia of about 100degree in the non-dominant eye.

How do I differentiate between an anxiety attack and a genuine lung/heart problem when I have symptoms that can fit both?

Thank you for asking such a fascinating question. It can be hard to tell anxiety apart from heart problems. The following pointers may be useful: Chest pain from anxiety tends to be more localized and sharp, while heart attacks radiate and are often duller. Panic attacks rarely cause vomiting, which may be more commonly seen in heart attacks. Third, panic attacks tend to follow a particular fixed pattern. They generally peak about 10 minutes in and then there is a slow and steady decline. Heart attacks can follow this same pattern, but it is less common.
