HbA1c above 10.5 increases risk; bring sugar down before surgery to avoid complications‚Äîfasting alone is not enough.

I've been noticing two floaters one medium-sized in my right eye and a smaller one in the left. Is there any diet change or medicine that can help reduce vitreous opacities or make them less noticeable? I've heard there's no allopathic treatment except surgery, but I'm hoping there might be other options to manage them

I had SMILE surgery done 15 days ago and my job requires me to stare at screens all day. Will using the computer or watching TV for long hours mess with my healing or the final results of the surgery?

After the surgery, prioritize rest and avoid straining your vision. This means refraining from using screens, such as TVs, laptops, computers, and phones, for the first 24 hours to prevent worsening dryness in the eyes.
