Question 1

My dad takes Ecospirin AV 75 every night, and he's got a cataract surgery scheduled for January 7th. The doctor said to stop taking Ecospirin AV 75 five days before the operation. Does that sound right to you? I just want to make sure it's okay.

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is important to stop Ecospirin AV 75 (aspirin) before cataract surgery as it can increase the risk of bleeding during the procedure. Your father's doctor is following the standard protocol to minimize any potential complications. It is recommended to follow the doctor's advice and discontinue Ecospirin AV 75 as instructed before the surgery.

Question 2

My glasses prescription has been getting stronger every six months. I'm really worried that my eyesight is deteriorating. What can I do to improve my vision?

Accepted Answer

Dont worry, your spectacle power should stabilise within the next 5 years or so. Only after this happens, can u think about laser surgery to correct your vision.

Question 3

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.

Accepted Answer

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 really concerned because my dad has only one eye, and it seems like theres a problem with it. Hes got a blood spot on his retina, and Im wondering if he really needs to get the Razumab injection. Could you please advise on whether this injection is necessary and urgent?
