I'm really worried about my daughter. She's got a cylindrical power of 1.25 in her right eye and 1.0 in her left. Is this something serious? Does she have to wear glasses all the time now, or are there ways to treat this? I've heard cylindrical power can get worse over timeis that true? Are there any medicines that could help her out?

Your daughter has mild astigmatism, which is common and generally not serious. Glasses can help correct her vision, and she may need to wear them regularly, especially for activities like reading or watching TV. Astigmatism can change over time, so regular eye check-ups are important. There's no specific medicine to treat it, but glasses or contact lenses can manage it effectively.

I've recently moved to Kolkata, and was prescribed GenTeal gel when I was at AIIMS Delhi. I'm not quite sure how to apply it now that I'm here. Could you guide me on the proper way to use it?

I've been dealing with high myopia with SPH powers of 7.50 and 7.25, and more recently, I was told I have a CYL of 1.50. While my SPH has been pretty stable, the CYL is new, and I'm not sure if it's settled down yet. I'm thinking about getting surgery to fix my vision but I'm unsure about which option is right for me. Would Lasik work, or should I be considering ICL or Contoura instead?
