My grandmother had cataract surgery about 2 months ago and I'm wondering what foods would help her recovery. Is it okay for her to eat chicken, meat, and eggs or should she avoid certain things?

Yes, she can eat chicken, eggs, and meat. Encourage high-protein, soft, vitamin-rich foods. Avoid overly spicy or fried food until full healing.

I've had this stye on my lower left eyelid for weeks now. The doctor gave me antibiotics for 3 days and told me to use warm compresses, but it hasn't gotten any better. She mentioned an incision might be needed if it doesn't improve, but I'm really scared of any kind of eye surgery. Are there other options besides surgery to treat this stye? It's such a sensitive area and the thought of an operation freaks me out
