I live in a city where no doctors offer Contoura vision surgery, so I'd have to fly elsewhere to get it done. But I'm not sure if I'm even a good candidate for it I don't want to travel all that way just to find out I can't get the procedure. Here are my details: RE sph -1.75 cyl -1.60 axis 15 VA 20/20 LE sph -1.50 cyl -1.25 axis 7 VA 20/20 IPD 69 My eye pressure is healthy, I have very mild dry eyes (not severe), and I've been diagnosed with astigmatism and myopia. Could I possibly be a candidate for Contoura vision?

My left eye has a chalazion and I really don't want surgery are there any medicines or treatments that can help clear it up without going under the knife? It's been bothering me and I'm worried about it getting worse. What options do I have?

It usually heals by itself. Home remedies like applying a warm compress to your eye can help break up the oil and promote drainage. If home remedies alone aren't enough to heal your chalazion, you may need medical treatment. Your doctor may recommend steroid injections or surgical removal.
