I have a minor corneal scar and I'm wondering if there are any non-surgical treatments like eye drops that can help improve it. Is there anything that can be done without going for surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Some common eye drops for corneal abrasion include erythromycin ointment, ciprofloxacin drops, and moxifloxacin drops. You probably won't need pain relievers. But if you do, your doctor may suggest over-the-counter (OTC) oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)

My father needs cataract surgery but he also has diabetes. I'm a bit worried and wanted to ask what sugar level is considered safe for the surgery? Also, if the cataract is fully matured, is laser surgery better or should we go for manual? And could you suggest the best doctor in Pune for diabetic patients needing cataract surgery someone with high success rates? I've heard about Sankara Netralaya in Chennai would you recommend going there instead?
A diabetic patient with a blood glucose level of 140 to 200mg/dL is considered as maximum when opting for cataract surgery. Surgeons can relax on the phaco energy, running of fluid through the eyes. Poor pupillary dilation and careless procedure can cause damage to the intraocular lens.

I had LASIK surgery about 4 years ago but lately I've been noticing light flashes on the left side of my left eye. My vision has been just okay since the surgery not great, not terrible. Could these flashes be something serious or related to the LASIK? What might be causing this?
