I'm a bit puzzled and could really use some advice. My previous prescription was RE 4.25 and LE 3.75. When I went to Lenskart for new glasses due to scratches on my current pair, they said my right eye power is now 4.5. Given that my power is already high and I don't feel any discomfort, should I actually switch to this new prescription? Also, I've always used regular fiber lenses without the blue ray coating that I got from another store. Is it necessary to switch to blue ray lenses now, especially since I spend the whole day working on a computer? Lastly, I just learned about cylindrical power being different too. Does this mean I need a completely different prescription for my specs?

View allI'm a bit confused about my recent eye test results. I went to Titan Eye and they said my vision is 2.00 on both sides, so I ordered glasses based on that. But a few days later, during a family checkup, another eye test showed my vision as 1.50. When I asked Titan Eye about this, they mentioned that a variation of 0.25 or 0.50 is normal and suggested that wearing 2.00 glasses wouldn't harm my eyes. But I'm not quite convinced. Is it really okay to wear glasses with a slightly higher power, like 2.00 instead of 1.50? Do you think its better to stick with a 1.50 power for reading, or should I consider progressive lenses? I've tested with another doctor who also said it's 1.50. What's your advice on the best route to take here?
You go according to ophthalmologist opinion , sometimes technicians may not do it properly.. .minor variation will be there in all test, its interobsever variation.... Results also depends on type of test whether it's just a chart test or slit lamp test..

I'm really worried about something that happened. While I was putting on makeup, my eye suddenly turned red. I intended to use the neomycin and polymyxin B sulfates and dexamethasone eye drops that were prescribed last year for pink eye, but I accidentally used a different dropneomycin and polymyxin B sulfates and hydrocortisone Otic solution. Afterward, my eye burned really badly. I washed it out and used the eye drops, and now it's not as red, but it feels warm and a bit inflamed. Should I be concerned or do anything specific right now?
Kindly don't self medicate. Wash your eyes thoroughly with water. If there's any further irritation, discharge from the eye, or blurring of vision, kindly visit the opthalmologist at the earliest.
