Question 1

I'm a bit worried about my eyesight because my eye power has been getting worse lately. I have Sph. 0.25 and Cyl. 0.5 and I've been wearing glasses for about a year now. I spend almost 8 hours every day in front of a computer, and I'm wondering if that's affecting my eyes. Is there a way to get back to my natural eyesight? Also, should I be wearing my glasses all the time or just when I really need them, like when driving or in a lecture? Would love your advice on this.

Question 2

I'm dealing with a chalazion on my lower eyelid that's been bothering me for a couple of months. I've been doing hot water compresses, but now there's a small tissue formed with some discharge, which my doctor says is because the chalazion ruptured. I'm wondering, is surgery the only option to treat it, or are there other effective treatments I can try?

Accepted Answer

While surgery is often considered for a ruptured chalazion with a persistent tissue and discharge, it's not the only remedy, as your doctor may recommend other treatments, such as antibiotic ointments or oral antibiotics to clear up the discharge and prevent infection, steroid injections to reduce inflammation, or continued warm compresses to encourage the tissue to resolve on its own,

Question 3

I'm worried because some dandruff got into my eye and even after using artificial tears, it hasn't come out. It doesn't hurt, but I can still feel like there's something inside my eye. What should I do?
