Hello Doctor, my mother (Dilshad, 60 years old) has severe dental infection. The dentist has advised the extraction of around 12 teeth in total (both upper and lower jaw). I am very concerned and want to know if removing upper or lower teeth can have any negative effect or damage on her eyes, vision, or optic nerves. Could you please clarify as an ophthalmologist?
I’ve had increasing flare/glare for the past ~2 months. I notice it more while driving at night, especially with bright lights, and sometimes with blue/bright lights. I also experience some disorientation/distortion when looking at many fine lines together, such as in elevators or patterned areas. I recently visited an eye hospital. My prescription was: Right: −6.00 SPH, −1.00 CYL × 10° Left: −3.25 SPH, −0.75 CYL × 160° They checked my eye ,did a scan and did a dilated examination, and the senior doctor discussed IPCL/ICL as an option for my refractive power. However, I’m not particularly interested in refractive surgery just to avoid glasses. My main concern is understanding why this flare/glare has increased recently and whether there is an underlying eye problem causing these symptoms. What tests or evaluations would be appropriate to identify the cause?

Past 10-15 days se right eye ki eyelid thodi neeche jhuki hui hai aur eye choti lag rahi hai. Shuruat mein ye aati-jaati thi (fluctuating), lekin ab lagatar rehne lagi hai. Mujhe frequently aankhein malne (eye rubbing) ki aadat hai. Double vision, pain, ya headache nahi hai.
