I'm a 49-year-old man who's been dealing with eye floaters for about 3 months now. Are there any effective treatments for this condition? Is surgery a good option or too risky? Can medications or eye drops help clear up floaters? I've heard about homeopathy and ayurveda for this - do those actually work or is it better to stick with conventional treatments?

You'll need to wait for 2-3 more years, till your glass power stabilizes. After that you can visit your local ophthalmologist who will do a couple of tests and then advise what kind of refractive surgery is apt for you. Till then you can use glasses or contact lenses , as per your convenience.

my dad needs cataract surgery and I'm confused about whether to go for an Indian lens or an imported one what are the key differences and which one would be better for his condition
Both Indian and imported lenses can be effective for cataract surgery. Imported lenses often have advanced features like better night vision, reduced glare, and longer durability, but they are costlier. Indian lenses have improved a lot and are suitable in most cases. The choice depends on your father’s lifestyle, visual needs, and budget—discuss with the ophthalmologist for personalized advice.
