My 1-year-old nephew was diagnosed with intermittent exotropia. I'm wondering if patching can really help fix this or if surgery is the only option. How effective are non-surgical treatments for kids this young?

Small inguinal hernias may be managed conservatively, but no proven Ayurvedic/homeopathy cure; untreated hernias may enlarge or strangulate, risking future complications.

My mother has been diagnosed with early-stage cataracts in both eyes but they're not fully formed yet. Should she consider surgery now or wait until they're more advanced? Also, is it safe to operate on both eyes within two days one eye one day and the next eye the following day? What else should we keep in mind about the procedure and recovery?
It's generally advisable to have cataract surgery when it starts impacting daily life, whether the cataracts are early or more advanced. Waiting for cataracts to fully mature isn't necessary and can sometimes lead to complications. Operating on both eyes within two days, one day per eye, is generally considered safe and can be beneficial for quicker recovery and convenience. However, individual circumstances and medical history should be discussed with the ophthalmologist
