My granny had cataract surgery on 24 Feb 2017 and ever since then she's been having pain in her eyes and forehead. The pain comes and goes it's not too severe but it's persistent. How long will this last and when can we expect the pain to go away completely?

It's understandable that you're concerned about your granny's persistent pain after cataract surgery. While it's common to experience some discomfort after surgery, it's unusual for it to last for seven years. It's crucial to have your granny's eye doctor re-evaluate her condition and determine the cause of the pain.

View allI'm considering ICL surgery but I'm a strict vegetarian and worried about the collamer lenses from STAAR Surgical. I read online that they might be derived from animal sources is that true? If not, where do they come from? And is it possible to get ICL lenses that are 100% plant-based?
No, Collamer lenses used in STAAR Surgical's Visian ICL surgery are not derived from animal sources, and they are not 100% plant-based. They are a synthetic material that is specifically designed to be biocompatible with the eye and not derived from any animal products, though the lens does contain a small amount of purified collagen.

I've had a chalazion on my left upper eyelid for about 3 weeks now. I've been using CIPZEN D for the last 5 days and it's gotten a lot smaller, but there's still a tiny lump left. Should I keep taking the meds or is there an ointment that can help it go away completely? I really don't want to go for surgery.
eye drops are advised ,for severe cases surgical excision is advised to the pt.
