So, I've noticed these cholesterol deposits on the corner of my eyelid that started showing up about a year ago. I'm wondering how I can treat them or if I even need to. Could you recommend a clinic or specialist I should visit for this issue?

The cholesterol deposits on your eyelid are likely xanthelasmata, a harmless condition, but to confirm and discuss treatment options, consider consulting a dermatologist or an oculoplastic surgeon at a reputable eye clinic or hospital, and in the meantime, maintaining healthy lifestyle habits, such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management, may help slow their growth.

My child accidentally got Moov spray in their eye, and I'm really worried about what I should do to help reduce any harmful effects. Can you please guide me on the necessary steps I should take?

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?
