I'm wondering if there's any harm in wearing zero power glasses when I'm on the computer or driving. Are there any benefits or drawbacks to using these non-prescription glasses in situations like that? Just trying to figure out if there's something I should be aware of.

Question

I'm wondering if it's possible to wear a combination of contacts and glasses, like using contact lenses for my SPH power and glasses for my CYL power. My CYL power is pretty high, and I can't seem to find contact lenses that can accommodate it. Could you give me some advice on this?

Question

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?

Question

Is it really necessary for me to wear glasses if I'm working on a computer for 8 hours a day, given my age of 46? I just had my eyes tested and my near vision is 1.25, but my long vision is normal. They said I should start wearing glasses to avoid affecting my eyesight. I'm already using a blue light filter on my laptop and trying some home remedies like splashing water on my eyes in the morning and ensuring my workspace has good ventilation with sunlight and fresh air. I'm hoping to avoid glassesare there any alternatives I should consider?
