I'm a bit worried about my daughter's eyes. They get watery when she's watching TV or reading a book, and the same happens with bright toys. She's really sensitive to sunlight too. Is this some kind of deficiency or a vision problem? I really want to avoid her needing glasses if possible. She does watch TV from a distance, but she gets super focused and doesn't blink much. We're thinking of cutting back on her TV time, but should we be concerned about her vision needing urgent attention? Any advice would be great.

Your daughter's watery eyes while watching TV, reading, or playing with bright toys, and sensitivity to sunlight, may indicate dry eye syndrome, digital eye strain, or potentially, a condition like photophobia; to avoid potential long-term vision problems, consult a pediatric ophthalmologist for a comprehensive eye exam to rule out any underlying conditions; in the meantime, encourage your daughter to follow the 20-20-20 rule, blink regularly while watching TV, and adjust the screen's brightness and contrast.

Is it really necessary for me to wear glasses if I'm working on a computer for 8 hours a day, given my age of 46? I just had my eyes tested and my near vision is 1.25, but my long vision is normal. They said I should start wearing glasses to avoid affecting my eyesight. I'm already using a blue light filter on my laptop and trying some home remedies like splashing water on my eyes in the morning and ensuring my workspace has good ventilation with sunlight and fresh air. I'm hoping to avoid glassesare there any alternatives I should consider?

I'm really worried about my cataracts and wondering if getting my blood sugar back to normal could help them disappear naturally. Is there any way to naturally get rid of cataracts once my sugar levels are under control?
