I've been having some issues with my eyes and vision, and my eye strain is really getting to me. My current prescription is sph 3.5 and cyl 0.75 for both eyes, but it used to be less without any cyl power, just 2.75. I haven't seen an eye doctor for a year and a half, but then three months ago, I had to get new glasses because mine broke. That's when they told me my eye power increased. Back before all the COVID stuff, I was outside a lot, playing cricket and barely using any screens, just reading books. But now, I'm inside all the time, staring at my phone for over 15 hours a day and not eating well either. I've started getting headaches around my eyes, eyebrows, and forehead, and my eyes feel so tired. I'm really trying to get my vision and overall eye health back on track. Any advice on what I can do?

I messed up and accidentally put dewax ear drops in my granny's eye. She started experiencing pain and her eye turned red. I used eye drops right after and flushed her eye with water. It's been an hour, and she's still in pain. I'm really worried. What should I do?

I've been noticing something odd with my right eye over the past 10 minutes. There's this black ring that shows up in my vision whenever I look to the right. I'm feeling a bit concerned. Could this indicate any underlying issue or should I have it checked?
