Both laser-assisted and traditional cataract surgery methods are effective, but laser-assisted surgery often offers greater precision and potentially faster recovery. The best choice depends on individual needs and preferences, including eye health, underlying medical conditions, and desired outcomes

Question

I've had glasses for 10 years with an eye power of 2 and 2.5. I really want to reduce my dependency on them but don't want to go for surgery. Are there any Ayurvedic medicines or natural remedies that can help improve eyesight without side effects? Also, I spend around 8 hours daily on the computer could that be making it worse?

My dad is 61 and had CABG surgery two weeks ago. He lost vision in his left eye 23 days before the surgery. The optician recommended eye injections, but since he just had heart surgery, when is it safe to treat his eye problem?
