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

I have a minor corneal scar and I'm wondering if there are any non-surgical treatments like eye drops that can help improve it. Is there anything that can be done without going for surgery?

Some common eye drops for corneal abrasion include erythromycin ointment, ciprofloxacin drops, and moxifloxacin drops. You probably won't need pain relievers. But if you do, your doctor may suggest over-the-counter (OTC) oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
