My mom is 47 and diabetic, she just had cataract surgery in one eye and can see far distances clearly now. The doctor wants to use a different focal lens in her other eye so one eye sees far and the other sees near. Is this approach safe and effective for someone with diabetes? Will she adjust okay to having each eye focused differently?

My right eye power is 2.75 and left is 3. I wear contact lenses for about 10 hours daily and had laser surgery 10 years ago. For the last 3 years, my vision has been blurry. Can this be corrected? I prefer Ayurveda and take triphala powder with water every night. Are there any medicines, exercises, or dietary changes that could help me stop depending on glasses or contacts
