Should I Do An Eye Examination And For What Should I Do So?
I am a 60 year old male, 5 9 , 185. I had open heart surgery 3 months ago to replace my aortic valve (mechanical) and had the maze procedure as well to correct my a-fib. Fully recovered and back to my regular activities. My question is, should I, and if so, when should I go in to get an eye examination? If so, what is the reason I should do so? Thank you.

There is no prohibition for your going for eye checkup. you can go for refraction. fundus examination. IOT measurement can be done. for any medication you should inform about your medical history. If you have to go for cataract surgery then consult your cardiac surgeon
