I've been diagnosed with retinal detachment and the report shows images of it too. The doctor said I need urgent surgery but I'm really worried - is surgery the only option left or are there other treatments I can try first? How critical is it to get this done immediately?

View allMy mom had cataract surgery yesterday and now she's having shivering and fever Is this normal after the procedure What could be causing this
Shivering and fever after cataract surgery, especially a fever above 100.4°F (38°C) for two days, could be a sign of a postoperative fever, a common occurrence after any surgery. While it's usually not serious and resolves on its own, it's important to monitor the symptoms and seek medical advice if it persists or is accompanied by other concerning signs.

My mother has cataracts in both eyes and the doctor recommended surgery for her right eye soon before it gets worse. Can you help me understand how to choose between monofocal and multifocal IOLs? What are the costs for each type in India, and how long is the recovery after surgery? Also, what precautions should she take post-surgery? I'd like to know all the options available for cataract surgery and their costs.
For cataract surgery, a monofocal Intraocular Lens (IOL) provides clear vision at a single distance (usually far vision), while a multifocal IOL offers vision at multiple distances (near, intermediate, and far). Multifocal IOLs generally cost more but may reduce the need for glasses after surgery. Cataract surgery costs in India vary significantly, typically ranging from INR 25,000 to INR 1,20,000, depending on the IOL type and hospital
