I'm really worried about my daughter. She's got a cylindrical power of 1.25 in her right eye and 1.0 in her left. Is this something serious? Does she have to wear glasses all the time now, or are there ways to treat this? I've heard cylindrical power can get worse over timeis that true? Are there any medicines that could help her out?

Your daughter has mild astigmatism, which is common and generally not serious. Glasses can help correct her vision, and she may need to wear them regularly, especially for activities like reading or watching TV. Astigmatism can change over time, so regular eye check-ups are important. There's no specific medicine to treat it, but glasses or contact lenses can manage it effectively.

Got C3R done a couple of months ago, and initially, everything was looking good with my vision getting better. But recently, I went outside and got some dust in my eyes, which led to an infection. The doctor prescribed BMox, but now my vision's gone blurry and there's some pain too. Should I get this checked out with the doc again or just wait it out a bit?
