I'm worried about these retinal holes and tears I've got, and I'm really hoping there's a way to manage them without going through laser treatment. Do you think homeopathy could be effective for this? And if it's possible, how long would it take to see any results? I'm just trying to explore all my options here.

Retinal holes and tears require prompt conventional medical attention, and homeopathy is not a recommended or evidence-based treatment for these conditions; laser treatment or surgery are the standard treatments to prevent vision loss, and delaying treatment can lead to retinal detachment and permanent vision loss; homeopathic treatment may not be effective in closing retinal holes or tears, and it's crucial to consult an ophthalmologist

Question

I'm really worried about my mom. I took her for an eye checkup a while back because she was experiencing intense itching in her eyes. The doctor then mentioned something about poor blood circulation in her eyes and sent us home. That itching never really went away and now, after four years, she's developed cataracts in one eye and can't see out of it. Today, we found out there's pus in that eye, and the doctor said they can't operate because if it bursts, her pain will be unbearable. What should I do? How can we improve the blood circulation in her eyes?

Question

Is there any other way to treat cataracts besides surgery? Are there treatments that are completely effective?
