It usually takes about a month, but sometimes it can take up to six months. Floaters will gradually get smaller and less noticeable as the weeks and months go by, but usually they never disappear completely.

Question

I'm noticing some veins showing up around my temporal and eye area, and I'm getting these black flashes in my eyes sometimes. Plus, there's this slight increase in head pressure I've been feeling. Is this something I should be worried about?

Question

I'm looking for some advice regarding my eyeglasses. I've been wearing them for the last 78 years, and recently I've had a bit of confusion about my prescription. Almost two years ago, my frame broke, and when I got a check-up at the eyewear shop, they said there was no change in my power. The prescription then was: Left Eye - Spherical 2.25, Cylindrical 0.50, Axis 175; Right Eye - Spherical 2.00. But I recently got my eyes checked at Lenskart, and the optician said its now: Left Eye - Spherical 2.00, Cylindrical 0.75, Axis 175; Right Eye - Spherical 2.00. I spoke with my regular optician, and he mentioned a 0.25 difference is common and should not be an issue. I went ahead and ordered new glasses with the Lenskart prescription, but now I'm not sure if I should switch to the new glasses or stay with the old ones. Can this small difference affect my vision, or is it okay to use either pair? I'm feeling a bit confused about what to do next.

Question

I've been dealing with keratoconus in both my eyes, and it's been about 2.5 months since I had the C3R and Intacs procedures. I'm still experiencing a lot of light sensitivity. Is that normal, and how long might it take for the sensitivity to improve?
