I'm Velmurugan, I'm 28 and from Chennai. After finishing college, I've been running a textile business for the past six years. But for the last year, I've been experiencing these blackouts whenever I focus on something like a book or a face. So, I went to a well-known eye hospital, and they told me its dry macular degeneration. The doctor mentioned there's no cure and I just have to live with it. Is there any hope or anything I can do about this? I've attached the scan reports too. Can someone guide me on possible treatments or actions I should take? I'm really worried about this and would appreciate any advice.

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.
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.
