Stem cell therapy for glaucoma treatment is available in India and abroad, with Delhi/NCR offering options like Stem Cell Care India. While research is ongoing, stem cells are being explored for their potential to protect the optic nerve and potentially delay vision loss.

I have cataracts in both eyes and my doctor recommended surgery, but my blood sugar levels are high fasting is 167, PP is 245, and HbA1c is 5.6. My urine test was normal. Should I still go ahead with the surgery or is there anything else I should do first to manage my sugar levels better?

While your HbA1c is currently in the pre-diabetic range (5.6), your fasting and postprandial blood sugar levels are elevated, indicating you may be experiencing hyperglycemia. Cataract surgery can be performed in diabetic patients, but good glycemic control is crucial to minimize complications. It's recommended you work with your doctor to improve your blood sugar control before proceeding with surgery.

My left eye has high myopia at 19D and my right eye is at 4D. I was recommended ICL surgery but waiting a year since my power isn't stable my left eye changed from 18D to 19D. Now I'm noticing double vision sometimes with this new prescription. Will this get better on its own or could it be something more serious?
