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.

I'm worried about my left eye. It feels like something is pulling it from behind, on the temporal side, especially when I take off my glasses to read. I've been using spectacles for myopia since I was 18, and my current prescription is 4 for the left eye and 3 for the right, which Ive had for about 3 months now. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing this feeling?

The sensation of your left eyeball being pulled from behind on the temporal side when removing glasses for reading may be related to eye strain, convergence insufficiency, or accommodative spasm, which can occur due to prolonged near vision tasks; consider consulting an eye care professional for a comprehensive evaluation, and discuss potential corrective measures, such as adjusting your glasses prescription, incorporating eye exercises, or using reading glasses with a different power.

I'm curious about my strabismus since I've had it since childhood. I don't have a lazy eye because both of my eyes have 69 acuity with 4D power. If I decide to get cosmetic surgery for the squint, what are the chances I'll end up with perfectly aligned eyes and no recurrence of the squint for the rest of my life? From what I've read, recurrence seems to happen mainly in people with a lazy eye, but since I'll be using both of my equally efficient eyes together after surgery, does that mean the squint might not come back? Could you guide me on this?

My dad takes Ecospirin AV 75 every night, and he's got a cataract surgery scheduled for January 7th. The doctor said to stop taking Ecospirin AV 75 five days before the operation. Does that sound right to you? I just want to make sure it's okay.

Yes, it is important to stop Ecospirin AV 75 (aspirin) before cataract surgery as it can increase the risk of bleeding during the procedure. Your father's doctor is following the standard protocol to minimize any potential complications. It is recommended to follow the doctor's advice and discontinue Ecospirin AV 75 as instructed before the surgery.
