View allI'm really confused about an upcoming cataract surgery I have scheduled in Kolkata. The doctor who's supposed to do the operation has an MBBS degree and a DO in ophthalmology. A couple of my friends are suggesting I reconsider because he doesn't have a surgery degree like MS. I'm honestly worried about it. Also, the doctor told me to stop taking ecospirin av 75 five days before the surgery. Should I be concerned about any of this?

I'm having an issue with my eyes turning red and feeling itchy lately. It wasnt there before, but suddenly it's become a problem. There's no pain, watering, or discharge, except a little in the mornings. I spend a lot of time on my laptop, like 8 to 9 hours a day. Could this be the cause?
