I have high myopia with 19 and 14 in both eyes and can't use a computer for more than an hour. I really want to become a computer engineer but I'm worried about my future since my doctor said surgery isn't an option for me. Can you guide me on how to manage my condition while pursuing this career?

I have high myopia with -19 and -14 in both eyes and also deal with computer vision syndrome. My doctor said surgery is too risky for me. I can't use the computer for more than an hour without discomfort, even with lubricant eye drops. Will continuing to use screens cause more damage to my eyes? Is it still possible for me to pursue computer engineering in the future given my condition?

You can use computer without fear Computer vision syndrome causes dryness but it cant decrease the vision

My mom had cataract surgery yesterday and now she's having shivering and fever Is this normal after the procedure What could be causing this

Shivering and fever after cataract surgery, especially a fever above 100.4¬∞F (38¬∞C) for two days, could be a sign of a postoperative fever, a common occurrence after any surgery. While it's usually not serious and resolves on its own, it's important to monitor the symptoms and seek medical advice if it persists or is accompanied by other concerning signs.
