My dad takes Ecospirin AV 75 every night, and he's got a cataract surgery scheduled for January 7th. The doctor said to stop taking Ecospirin AV 75 five days before the operation. Does that sound right to you? I just want to make sure it's okay.

Yes, it is important to stop Ecospirin AV 75 (aspirin) before cataract surgery as it can increase the risk of bleeding during the procedure. Your father's doctor is following the standard protocol to minimize any potential complications. It is recommended to follow the doctor's advice and discontinue Ecospirin AV 75 as instructed before the surgery.

I've noticed that my left eye is looking really red, kind of like it's filled with a blood-like fluid, and it's been this way for about 23 days now. I've also been feeling this strain in that eye for the same amount of time. I do have high blood pressure and diabetes, so I'm wondering if those might be connected to what's going on. What could be causing this, and what would the diagnosis likely be?
The symptoms of a half-red left eye with a blood-like fluid, accompanied by strain and underlying conditions of high blood pressure and diabetes, suggest potential causes such as subconjunctival hemorrhage, diabetic retinopathy, or hypertensive retinopathy; immediate consultation with an ophthalmologist is recommended for a comprehensive evaluation,
