Dont worry, your spectacle power should stabilise within the next 5 years or so. Only after this happens, can u think about laser surgery to correct your vision.

Question

Can you help me understand what the expected vision is for a 5-year-old? Like, if a doctor checks their eyes, should they be able to see the line on the chart that corresponds to 2020 vision? Or is there a different line that's considered normal for kids that age? I'm a bit unsure and would love some clarity on this.

Question

I'm a little worried because I'm 25 and dealing with some health issues. I've been noticing more and more eye floaters this past month, but my ophthalmologist says my eyes are fine after doing an OCT. They suggested I take Vitreon sachets every day for 30 days. But if everything's supposed to be okay, why are my floaters getting worse every day? I don't see any flashes, just lots of floaters that look like black dots or wavy lines. Could something else be going on?

Question

I'm an Indian living abroad and I've noticed some swelling near my left eyebrow over the last couple of days. There's a bit of pain when I touch the area, and it's got me a little worried. Do you think it might go away on its own, or should I be looking at using some eye drops? Could you recommend a good one I could buy?
