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.

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.

It's really uncomfortable, especially since I can't even close my left eye properly because the upper lid hurts, and there's this reddish tint on the lower lid. On top of that, I'm trying to study for my exams, which makes it even more frustrating. Do you have any recommendations for something that can help soothe this?
