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 worried about these retinal holes and tears I've got, and I'm really hoping there's a way to manage them without going through laser treatment. Do you think homeopathy could be effective for this? And if it's possible, how long would it take to see any results? I'm just trying to explore all my options here.
Retinal holes and tears require prompt conventional medical attention, and homeopathy is not a recommended or evidence-based treatment for these conditions; laser treatment or surgery are the standard treatments to prevent vision loss, and delaying treatment can lead to retinal detachment and permanent vision loss; homeopathic treatment may not be effective in closing retinal holes or tears, and it's crucial to consult an ophthalmologist

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.
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.
