The sudden appearance of many floaters — tiny specks that seem to drift through your field of vision. Flashes of light in one or both eyes (photopsia) Blurred vision. Gradually reduced side (peripheral) vision. A curtain-like shadow over your visual field(which makes it seem as if a curtain has been pulled across your field of vision, with a dark shadowing effect.)

I'm having a hard time seeing clearly out of my left eye because it's really weak, like a 6.75 or something. Is there any advice you can give me for this issue? I'm kinda worried about it.

It sounds like you have significant farsightedness in your left eye with a prescription of +6.75. I recommend consulting an eye specialist to discuss options like corrective glasses, contact lenses, or even surgical treatments like LASIK if you're eligible. They can help you find the best solution for your vision needs.

I'm really worried because my dad needs surgery, but he has diabetes. I'm wondering what sugar level should be okay for him to safely have cataract surgery. If the cataract is fully developed, should we go for laser surgery or stick with the manual method? Also, could you recommend the best doctor in Pune who has experience with diabetic patients needing cataract surgery? Is there any record of doctors in Pune who have the highest success rates for these kinds of patients? Lastly, should we consider taking him to Chennai's Sankara Netralaya instead?

I've had this eye irritation for the last couple of days, and there's this clear, jelly-like stuff on the white part of my eyeball. Should I be worried, or are there any specific eye drops I should try? I've only been using Refresh Tears so far.
