I'm trying to decide between laser surgery and ayurvedic treatment for my condition and I'm not sure which one to go for. Also if I choose homeopathic treatment instead, how long would the healing process take? I'm a bit worried about recovery time and effectiveness.

My grandmother recently saw an opthalmologist for some minor eye discomfort and was told she has a small motibindu that just started. The doctor recommended cataract surgery, but she can see everything clearly, even reads books without any darkness in her vision. Is surgery really necessary at this stage?

No, in most cases, cataract surgery isn't immediately necessary when vision is still good, even with a small cataract. Cataracts develop gradually, and early stages often don't significantly affect vision Waiting to see how the cataract progresses and how it impacts daily activities is a common approach.
