Could you explain the difference between the Alcon Clareon lens and the Alcon AcrySof IQ lens for cataract surgery? I'm trying to figure out which one might be better and which is the newest option available.

Question

I've been feeling this weird pressure in my eyes every time I sit on the ground and then stand up again. I'm a bit worried because I'm overweight, around 88kg, and I'm 5.6 feet tall. Could that be causing it?

Question

I've been noticing something weird lately. Every morning when I wake up, everything I look at seems to have this orange tint to it. It usually goes away after a few minutes, but it's starting to worry me a bit. I'm 29, and I'm not sure if this is something serious or if there might be an underlying cause I should be aware of. Any insights into what might be happening, or suggestions on what I should do next?

Question

I've noticed my left upper eyelid is swollen and it actually hurts when I touch it. Compared to my other eyelid, the swollen one feels a bit hard. There isn't any redness inside my eye, though the eyelid itself seems a little pink. I've been watching it for the past three days, and it hasn't changed at all. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
