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

Do you happen to know if the eye color-changing product iCOLOUR is actually safe to use? I'm a bit worried about the potential risks, like could it make someone go blind? And if it does change eye color, how long would that even last?

Accepted Answer

iCOLOUR and similar products that claim to change eye color can carry risks, including potential eye damage or infection, as they alter the natural pigmentation of the iris. It's important to consult an eye specialist before using such products to ensure safety. The effects may not be permanent and can last only for a few months to a year, depending on the product.

Question 3

I'm really worried because my dad needs surgery, but he has diabetes. I'm wondering what sugar level should be okay for him to safely have cataract surgery. If the cataract is fully developed, should we go for laser surgery or stick with the manual method? Also, could you recommend the best doctor in Pune who has experience with diabetic patients needing cataract surgery? Is there any record of doctors in Pune who have the highest success rates for these kinds of patients? Lastly, should we consider taking him to Chennai's Sankara Netralaya instead?

Accepted Answer
