My left eye has a chalazion and I really don't want surgery are there any medicines or treatments that can help clear it up without going under the knife? It's been bothering me and I'm worried about it getting worse. What options do I have?

It usually heals by itself. Home remedies like applying a warm compress to your eye can help break up the oil and promote drainage. If home remedies alone aren't enough to heal your chalazion, you may need medical treatment. Your doctor may recommend steroid injections or surgical removal.

The doctor said my retina nerves are weak and recommended barrage laser but I don't know much about it will it hurt or involve surgery? Also, I recently switched to progressive lenses and have had constant headaches for 10 days is it safe to do the laser now?

Barrage laser treatment strengthens weak areas of the retina, and it's generally considered a safe and effective procedure, but it can cause some mild discomfort or pain. It usually doesn't involve surgery in the traditional sense; it's a laser procedure performed on an outpatient basis. Regarding your headaches, it's best to consult with your doctor or eye doctor to determine if they are related to the new lenses or another issue before undergoing the laser treatment.

Shankar Netralaya in Chennai diagnosed my daughter with retinitis pigmentosa in her eyes. I read online that the only available surgery is bionic eye in the US, but I wanted to check if there are any other successful treatments in India maybe in allopathy, ayurveda, or homeopathy. If not, can you suggest a doctor in India who does the bionic eye procedure?
