View allGot C3R done a couple of months ago, and initially, everything was looking good with my vision getting better. But recently, I went outside and got some dust in my eyes, which led to an infection. The doctor prescribed BMox, but now my vision's gone blurry and there's some pain too. Should I get this checked out with the doc again or just wait it out a bit?

Hey, I've got this small white bump on my upper eyelid and it's underneath the skin. It's been causing a bit of pain. Any idea what's going on or what I should do about it?
You may have a stye, which is a common eye infection that can cause a painful bump on the eyelid. You can try using antibiotic eye ointment like Tobramycin (Tobrex) twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the eyelid for 10-15 minutes several times a day can help reduce pain and swelling. If the stye does not improve or if your symptoms worsen, please consult an ophthalmologist for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm a bit worried because I used to masturbate a lot when I was in 12th grade, and I would often play sports right after. Now, I only do it once a week or every two weeks. I'm 22 years old and recently noticed I need glasses with a prescription of 0.5. Could my past habits of frequent masturbation have affected my health or eyesight? I would really like to know.
Masturbation does not have any direct negative effects on your health or eyes. Wearing glasses with a power of 0.5 is a common prescription for mild vision issues and is not typically related to masturbation. It is important to maintain a balanced lifestyle with regular exercise, healthy diet, and adequate sleep for overall well-being. If you have any specific concerns about your health or eyes, it is recommended to consult with an ophthalmologist for a thorough evaluation.
