My mom is 60 and diabetic, and we're considering cataract surgery for her. Her eye number is 4.5 - would a trifocal or multifocal lens be better for her? I'm a bit worried about which option would suit her condition best.

View allmy dad is 65 and needs cataract surgery the doctor recommended replacing his lens with an artificial one is that safe or are there risks should we consider laser treatment instead
Yes, cataract surgery where the natural lens is replaced with an artificial lens is generally safe and effective, especially in older adults. There are risks associated with any surgery, but lens replacement is considered a very safe procedure with a high success rate. Laser-assisted cataract surgery is a variation that some surgeons may offer, and it can have some benefits, but the choice between traditional and laser-assisted surgery is typically based on individual factors

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.
