I'm looking to renew my driver's license and I've heard that once you hit 40, you need a medical certificate for the process. I'm in Gurgaon and my vision is fine with the help of my glasses for myopia. I'm trying to find a doctor who can provide this certificate without charging more than 300 rupees. Any doctors out there who can assist with this?

I'm a bit worried about my right eye. When I woke up this morning, it was watery and had turned a light red. This watery sensation is happening on and off, and I've been trying to ease the irritation with cold water. I remember something similar happening last year and used some medicine and eye drops that a doctor prescribed at that time. I've also tried Itone eye drops, which are ayurvedic. Should I keep using the old prescription or just stick with the Itone drops?
