Question

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been a heart patient and even had bypass surgery about five years ago. He's been on blood thinners ever since. Now he's dealing with cataracts and the eye doctors are saying he should stop his blood thinners for a week before the surgery. I'm not sure about this advice. Is it really necessary to stop taking those medicines? And if he does stop, could it cause any problems or risks for his heart condition?

Question

I've been working from home for the past three years, and I've noticed I'm spending a lot of time on my laptop because of workat least 12 to 13 hours a day. Lately, I've been experiencing headaches, a burning sensation, and watery eyes. I'm also having trouble sleeping, feeling really fatigued, low energy, and like I always want to sleep but just can't. What could be causing these issues?

Question

Can you help me understand what the expected vision is for a 5-year-old? Like, if a doctor checks their eyes, should they be able to see the line on the chart that corresponds to 2020 vision? Or is there a different line that's considered normal for kids that age? I'm a bit unsure and would love some clarity on this.
