Hello madam.
Post cataract surgery, there is a formation of some kind of white opacity over the lens (known as pco). It occurs in almost all the patients, despite the best surgical techniques and is treated with laser shots. She must have gained a better vision after the laser procedure. The itching and watering may be due to reasons apart from the cataract surgery and laser procedure. It may be allergic or inflammatory. Old age patients tend to develop certain conditions like concretions, d...more

Yes you can use Refresh drops. And I advise you to have Arnica 200c one dose once a day for 7days to get rid of this problem forever.

Dear lybrate-user, there are treatments in homoeopathy which can postpone the surgical process but a progressive cataract will have to be excised out by laser surgery at the end. You can instill cineraria maritima eye drops (schwabe in alcohol base) in affected eye.
For more you are advised to go to ophthalmic surgeon for modus of operation and types of lenses.

Hello. Unfortunately cataract has no cure. It's just treatable surgically only. I understand it must be difficult going for eye surgery in such difficult covid times. But she should get operated at the earliest, otherwise she might completely lose the eyesight (sometimes irreversibly). I am sorry but no drops can cure your problem.
Hope this helps.

Hello. It's unfortunate that in such covid time, people like your father cannot access healthcare and get a basic surgery done.
First let me tell you, there is no cure or medical therapy for cataract. The only treatment is surgery. Get the sugar and blood pressure in control at home. Continue his medications. And please get in contact with some nearby eye hospital, so that he gets operated soon. White cataract is a mature cataract (paka hua motiya bind), which if not removed timely will caus...more

Hello. I am sorry to know about your problems. It is unfortunate to be a patient of retinitis pigmentosa (rp).

But it should not be taken without doctor’s prescription ...more
