I'm struggling with my eyesight since my eye number is minus 5 and 5.5, and everything's blurry without my glasses. I'm really considering surgery because I don't want to wear specs anymore. Can you let me know how much the total fees are for such an eye operation?

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

I'm really concerned about something that's been happening since I had herpes zoster shingles a couple of weeks ago. I had rashes on my neck and shoulders, all on the left side, but they've mostly cleared up now. However, this morning I noticed I can only twitch my left eye. I came across something online about herpes zoster ophthalmicus, and I'm worried this could be a late effect of the shingles. What should I do about this?

It is the complication of herpes infection.
