My friends recently pointed out that my eyes aren't perfectly straight, just slightly off. I really don't want surgery and my parents aren't okay with it either. Is there any way to fix this without going under the knife? (Note: This keeps the original concerns intact while sounding natural and conversational. It avoids robotic phrasing, removes excess punctuation, and maintains a worried but hopeful tone typical of someone seeking medical advice online.)

Are there any eye drops, medicines, or other natural ways to slowly reduce my power over time? I'm okay if it takes a year or longer I just want to avoid surgery and eventually stop wearing glasses. What would you suggest?

My son just had cataract surgery and the doctor prescribed steroid and antibiotic eye drops along with homide eye drops what exactly does the homide drop do for his recovery?
The Homide eye drops, containing homatropine, are used in cataract surgery to dilate the pupil and reduce muscle spasms. This helps the ophthalmologist visualize the eye better during surgery and also helps to relax the eye muscles. Homatropine is a muscarinic antagonist, which means it blocks the effects of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that controls eye muscle movement

I have cataracts in both eyes and my doctor recommended surgery, but my blood sugar levels are high fasting is 167, PP is 245, and HbA1c is 5.6. My urine test was normal. Should I still go ahead with the surgery or is there anything else I should do first to manage my sugar levels better?
While your HbA1c is currently in the pre-diabetic range (5.6), your fasting and postprandial blood sugar levels are elevated, indicating you may be experiencing hyperglycemia. Cataract surgery can be performed in diabetic patients, but good glycemic control is crucial to minimize complications. It's recommended you work with your doctor to improve your blood sugar control before proceeding with surgery.
