Can ayurveda or homeopathy actually heal retina holes, and how long would that kind of treatment usually take? Or is laser treatment the only option that really works for this? I'm just worried and trying to understand the best course of action.

While Ayurveda and Homeopathy may offer supportive treatments to promote overall eye health, there is limited scientific evidence to suggest that they can effectively cure retinal holes; conventional medical treatment, such as laser photocoagulation or vitreoretinal surgery, is generally considered the most effective way to treat retinal holes and prevent vision loss, with treatment outcomes and duration varying depending on the size, location, and severity of the retinal hole.

I'm a bit worried because I had LASIK on both eyes about 15 years ago, and I don't have any records of it anymore. Neither does the surgeon's office. If I ever need cataract surgery, will the lack of these records be a problem? Is there any technology available that can help in determining the right intraocular lens for me?
Yes,no need of the previous records, surgery would be planned based on the current status of your eye

I'm noticing that when I close my right eye, I see a blurred image with my left eyeit's like half of what I'm seeing is clear and the other half is not. Also, sometimes my ear starts to hurt and the pain feels like it pulses at the same time in both my ear and eye. It's not something that happens all the time, but it's becoming a concern for me. What could this be?
