Hey, I've been dealing with a red eye for the past couple of days and it's really painful, especially when I open it. There's a lot of white color showing. I attached some pictures too. Are there any specific drops you would recommend, or any suggestions on what I could do to help with the pain?

I've been getting this sudden pain just below my left eye, like on the bone, and it sort of comes and goes on its own after a day or two. It's not actually in my eye. I've tried using Itone eye drops, but I'm not sure what it could be. Any ideas?

I'm noticing that every month my eyes get red and itchy, but it's weird because it happens to only one eye at a time. If it's my right eye this month, then it's the left one the next month. I don't have any vision problems, but it usually happens close to my period. I've seen the doctor a few times and while the issue gets better with the prescribed stuff like Refresh Tears and Ketorolac Tromethamine ophthalmic solution, it keeps coming back. Do you know of any permanent solution for this?

I'm looking for some advice regarding my eyeglasses. I've been wearing them for the last 78 years, and recently I've had a bit of confusion about my prescription. Almost two years ago, my frame broke, and when I got a check-up at the eyewear shop, they said there was no change in my power. The prescription then was: Left Eye - Spherical 2.25, Cylindrical 0.50, Axis 175; Right Eye - Spherical 2.00. But I recently got my eyes checked at Lenskart, and the optician said its now: Left Eye - Spherical 2.00, Cylindrical 0.75, Axis 175; Right Eye - Spherical 2.00. I spoke with my regular optician, and he mentioned a 0.25 difference is common and should not be an issue. I went ahead and ordered new glasses with the Lenskart prescription, but now I'm not sure if I should switch to the new glasses or stay with the old ones. Can this small difference affect my vision, or is it okay to use either pair? I'm feeling a bit confused about what to do next.

If the small difference in the prescription isnt causing you any noticeable issues, I wouldnt worry too much. But trying the new lenses out should give you a better sense of what works best for your eyes! Let me know if you need any more clarification.
