My right eyelid is swollen with a pus-filled lump that's turned into a hard mass. The doctor recommended surgery but I want to try meds first. I've been taking gate df eyedrops, rabikind dsr, fynal 500, and zypore for 3 days but the lump hasn't reduced much. Should I switch meds or is surgery the only option now?

My mom is 58 and has some eye pressure issues. The doctor mentioned she might need YAG PI laser surgery before cataract surgery. Is this really necessary or can we skip it? I'm worried about the risks and if it's absolutely needed for her situation.

My mother is 67 and has been diagnosed with cataracts in both eyes, with surgery recommended. She's a homemaker who reads newspapers and mythology books daily. I'm torn between monofocal and multifocal lenses would the Alcon Vivity lens suit her lifestyle, or should we consider other options? Also, does the season affect cataract surgery outcomes?

Can you recommend a good laser surgery option to remove my glasses? I'm planning to join the defense sector and need clear vision without specs. Also, does the cornea heal back to its original shape after laser treatment without any cuts being made?

Consult opthalmologist for that.
