I was riding my bike, and some insect flew into my eye. Now it's all red and swollen. Could you tell me what I should do about it?

Immediately flush your eye with water, avoid rubbing or touching the eye, and remove any contact lenses; then, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling, and use over-the-counter antihistamine or anti-allergic eye drops, such as chlorpheniramine or ketotifen, to alleviate redness and itchin

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.

I'm looking to renew my driver's license and I've heard that once you hit 40, you need a medical certificate for the process. I'm in Gurgaon and my vision is fine with the help of my glasses for myopia. I'm trying to find a doctor who can provide this certificate without charging more than 300 rupees. Any doctors out there who can assist with this?

I'm wondering if it's possible to wear a combination of contacts and glasses, like using contact lenses for my SPH power and glasses for my CYL power. My CYL power is pretty high, and I can't seem to find contact lenses that can accommodate it. Could you give me some advice on this?
