I'm looking for some advice regarding my eyeglasses. I've been wearing them for the last 78 years, and recently I've had a bit of confusion about my prescription. Almost two years ago, my frame broke, and when I got a check-up at the eyewear shop, they said there was no change in my power. The prescription then was: Left Eye - Spherical 2.25, Cylindrical 0.50, Axis 175; Right Eye - Spherical 2.00. But I recently got my eyes checked at Lenskart, and the optician said its now: Left Eye - Spherical 2.00, Cylindrical 0.75, Axis 175; Right Eye - Spherical 2.00. I spoke with my regular optician, and he mentioned a 0.25 difference is common and should not be an issue. I went ahead and ordered new glasses with the Lenskart prescription, but now I'm not sure if I should switch to the new glasses or stay with the old ones. Can this small difference affect my vision, or is it okay to use either pair? I'm feeling a bit confused about what to do next.

If the small difference in the prescription isnt causing you any noticeable issues, I wouldnt worry too much. But trying the new lenses out should give you a better sense of what works best for your eyes! Let me know if you need any more clarification.

I'm really looking to improve my eye power naturally. I've got a high prescription of 6 diopters in both eyes. Are there any exercises or yoga routines that might help reduce it, even just a bit? I'm open to any kind of exercise or natural remedy.
To improve your eye power naturally and reduce your -6D myopia, try combining these methods: eye exercises like rolling, focusing, and palming; yoga asanas like Bhujangasana, Sarvangasana, and Halasana; Ayurvedic medicines like Triphala, Amalaki, and Mahatriphala Ghrita; dietary changes including foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and antioxidants; and good eye care habits like the 20-20-20 rule, proper lighting, and reduced screen time
