I have farsightedness with a prescription of 7.5. Are there any non-surgical ways to improve it or at least make it a bit better? I'm curious if glasses or lifestyle changes could help reduce the severity over time

View allI had CXL surgery for keratoconus 5 years ago and want to start going to the gym. Can I do strength training exercises like pushups, situps, lunges, planks, squats, and jumping jacks without worrying about increased intraocular pressure or my keratoconus getting worse?
Yes, you can generally do strength training exercises like push-ups, sit-ups, lunges, planks, squats, and jumping jacks after CXL surgery for keratoconus without worrying about significant increases in intraocular pressure (IOP) or your keratoconus progressing further. CXL surgery strengthens the cornea, helping to slow down the progression of keratoconus. While exercise can temporarily increase IOP, it's usually not a major concern for individuals who have had CXL surgery

I had LASIK surgery three days ago and now there's a blood clot in my right eye that seems to be getting bigger. The doctor says it's normal but I'm worried because it's not improving. Should I be concerned or is this really part of the healing process?
While subconjunctival hemorrhages (blood clots in the eye) are common after LASIK surgery and generally harmless, it's important to monitor the blood clot and follow up with your doctor if you have concerns, especially if it's getting larger or not improving. It's possible the doctor's assessment of "normal" is based on the early stages of healing, but a larger or worsening clot could indicate a different issue.
