I'm really worried because my dad needs surgery, but he has diabetes. I'm wondering what sugar level should be okay for him to safely have cataract surgery. If the cataract is fully developed, should we go for laser surgery or stick with the manual method? Also, could you recommend the best doctor in Pune who has experience with diabetic patients needing cataract surgery? Is there any record of doctors in Pune who have the highest success rates for these kinds of patients? Lastly, should we consider taking him to Chennai's Sankara Netralaya instead?

Question

I'm really worried because the whole area around my left eye is in pain. I noticed there's no redness, but there's some swelling and it's even affecting the left side of my head. I had asked about this earlier and got an answer, but now I can't find it in the app. Could you please share that information with me again? Any advice on what I should do would be really helpful.

Question

I'm a bit concerned because my 7-year-old daughter recently recovered from an adenovirus infection that included viral conjunctivitis, fever, and loose motion. She's doing better now, but I'm starting to notice a burning sensation and slight pinkness in my eyes. I don't have a fever or other symptoms yet, so I'm just wondering what steps I should take to address this. Any advice?
