Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that your sister is undergoing cataract surgery. Since she is having spherical and cylindrical number she needs to go for toric intraocular lens to correct both spherical and cylindrical numbers.

Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Hope this is helpful to you.
Thank you
