I'm really worried about my dad. He's 66 and had cataract surgery on both eyes about 5 months ago. His doctor mentioned that he should wear sunglasses for a month whenever he went outside, but it's been 5 months and he still feels really uncomfortable when he steps out, even if it's just for a couple of minutes. At night, he seems fine with the lights, so that's a relief. The doctor said he has dry eyes which might be causing the slow recovery. He's using eye drops three times a day and a gel at night as the doctor advised. He's also been wearing photochromic glasses for the past 4 months and feels okay with them indoors, but as soon as he goes outside, it's really tough for him. I'm just curious when he might be able to go out without feeling the need for sunglasses again because, despite what the doctor said, stepping out even for a short time is hard for him right now. What could be going on?

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?

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?
