I'm really worried about my left eye, as I've been told I have a cataract. Could you tell me more about what this means for my eye right now and what the recovery process could look like? Also, are the medicines I'm taking okay for this condition?

Question

I'm really concerned about something that's been happening since I had herpes zoster shingles a couple of weeks ago. I had rashes on my neck and shoulders, all on the left side, but they've mostly cleared up now. However, this morning I noticed I can only twitch my left eye. I came across something online about herpes zoster ophthalmicus, and I'm worried this could be a late effect of the shingles. What should I do about this?

Question

My doctor gave me a prescription for my glasses with these details: Right Eye is 2.25 spherical, 1.50 cylindrical with an axis of 170, and the Left Eye is 2.75 spherical and 1.25 cylindrical with an axis of 10. But the specs I got made by the company have the Right Eye at 2.25 spherical, 1.50 cylindrical with an axis of 160, and the Left Eye at 2.75 spherical and 1.25 cylindrical with an axis of 180. I'm wondering, will this change in axis affect my vision in any way? Should I continue using these specs or should I get them corrected to match my prescription?

Question

I'm really worried about my mom. She's 60 and has been experiencing watery eyes a lot, especially when she's watching TV. I'm planning to take her to a doctor, but in the meantime, do you have any recommendations for eyedrops that could offer her some immediate relief? She doesn't have any other symptoms right now, so I'm just looking for something to help ease this.
