I'm really confused about an upcoming cataract surgery I have scheduled in Kolkata. The doctor who's supposed to do the operation has an MBBS degree and a DO in ophthalmology. A couple of my friends are suggesting I reconsider because he doesn't have a surgery degree like MS. I'm honestly worried about it. Also, the doctor told me to stop taking ecospirin av 75 five days before the surgery. Should I be concerned about any of this?

I'm looking to renew my driver's license and I've heard that once you hit 40, you need a medical certificate for the process. I'm in Gurgaon and my vision is fine with the help of my glasses for myopia. I'm trying to find a doctor who can provide this certificate without charging more than 300 rupees. Any doctors out there who can assist with this?

I'm noticing this strange purple shape when I look at people, and sometimes my vision goes blurry for a few seconds. I've had an OCT scan done and I'm using some eye drops and taking a supplement called i Sight Plus. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it just a normal thing?
