Is banana good for eyesight?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Eating a banana daily is likely to boost eye health and prevent vision-related diseases. Bananas have carotenoid -- a compound that turn fruits and vegetables red, orange or yellow and are converted into vitamin A, important precursors for eye health -- in the liver

I accidentally got some Harpic liquid on my skin and washed it off with water right away. I went out and got Refresh Liquigel as a precaution. Could you tell me how many drops I should use and how often?
If youve come into contact with Harpic liquid, it's great that you washed it off immediately. For Refresh Liquigel, usually 1-2 drops in each eye should be enough, 2-3 times a day or as needed for comfort. If irritation persists, its best to consult a doctor.

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?
