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'm cooking and a drop of hot oil splashed into my left eye. It's really itching and burning, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you please help me figure out how to treat this?
You can flush your eye with clean water for at least 15 minutes to help relieve the symptoms. You can use lubricating eye drops like Refresh Tears or Systane Ultra to soothe the eye. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult an ophthalmologist for further evaluation and treatment.
