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.

View allI'm really worried because my eyes have been red for the past couple of days. I've tried putting coconut oil around them and washing them with cold water. It helped a bit, but the redness still isn't gone. I'm thinking about using Refresh Tears eye drops. Do you think that's a good idea, and if so, how many drops should I use and for how long?
Yes you can use them like 2 drops in each eye for 4 times in a day, if it's becoming worse visit Ophthalmologist for evaluation and appropriate management

I'm really worried about my dad's eye condition. He went to the hospital by himself, and he's saying he needs to use atropine in the morning and at night, one drop each time, and moxifloxacin every hour. That sounds right according to the doctor's instructions, but I'm confused because as per the prescription, he's also supposed to use itraconazole and natamycin every hour. My dad is telling me the doctor advised him to start those only after finishing atropine and moxifloxacin. I'm 600 km away and it's stressing me out not being there to help. Can you help me make sense of what should be done first?
yes,visit your foe appropriate management

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?
No, that needs surgical correction
