I've had glasses for 10 years with an eye power of 2 and 2.5. I really want to reduce my dependency on them but don't want to go for surgery. Are there any Ayurvedic medicines or natural remedies that can help improve eyesight without side effects? Also, I spend around 8 hours daily on the computer could that be making it worse?

View allIs cataract surgery safe during the rainy season or is it better to wait for winter? I've heard humidity and infections might be higher in monsoon and worried about recovery. Does the weather really affect the surgery outcome or healing process?
Cataract surgery is generally safe year-round; infection control practices matter more than weather.

I've had floaters for about a year now and they're really bothering me, especially when I'm trying to work on my laptop. Since I've had cataract surgery in both eyes, could that be making the floaters worse or causing these vision issues
While floaters are common after cataract surgery, they don't necessarily mean something is wrong. Cataract surgery improves vision, potentially making existing floaters more noticeable. If you're experiencing a sudden increase in floaters, especially with flashes of light or vision loss, see your eye doctor immediately as this could indicate a serious condition like a retinal tear or detachment.

Can PRK surgery be detected during a railway medical exam since it's not allowed for the job I know LASIK is also banned but I'm more worried about PRK showing up on their eye tests
PRK can be detected during a railway medical exam, although it's not as easily detected as LASIK. While LASIK involves creating a flap that can be seen, PRK doesn't, making it more difficult to detect with standard slit lamp examinations. However, advanced tests like corneal topography can detect PRK, and some residual scarring from PRK can also be visible on slit lamp examination.
