I've been having some issues with my eyes and vision, and my eye strain is really getting to me. My current prescription is sph 3.5 and cyl 0.75 for both eyes, but it used to be less without any cyl power, just 2.75. I haven't seen an eye doctor for a year and a half, but then three months ago, I had to get new glasses because mine broke. That's when they told me my eye power increased. Back before all the COVID stuff, I was outside a lot, playing cricket and barely using any screens, just reading books. But now, I'm inside all the time, staring at my phone for over 15 hours a day and not eating well either. I've started getting headaches around my eyes, eyebrows, and forehead, and my eyes feel so tired. I'm really trying to get my vision and overall eye health back on track. Any advice on what I can do?

View allI'm worried about my left eye. It feels like something is pulling it from behind, on the temporal side, especially when I take off my glasses to read. I've been using spectacles for myopia since I was 18, and my current prescription is 4 for the left eye and 3 for the right, which Ive had for about 3 months now. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing this feeling?
The sensation of your left eyeball being pulled from behind on the temporal side when removing glasses for reading may be related to eye strain, convergence insufficiency, or accommodative spasm, which can occur due to prolonged near vision tasks; consider consulting an eye care professional for a comprehensive evaluation, and discuss potential corrective measures, such as adjusting your glasses prescription, incorporating eye exercises, or using reading glasses with a different power.

I'm curious about getting rid of my spectacles, as my eye power is 2.25 in both eyes. Do I need any special treatment or surgery to address this? I'd love some guidance on what my options might be.
For your myopia of -2.25 in both eyes, you may consider undergoing a refractive surgery called LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis). This procedure can help correct your vision and reduce your dependence on glasses or contact lenses. It is important to consult with an ophthalmologist to determine if you are a suitable candidate for LASIK. The typical dosage for this surgery is one session per eye, with post-operative care instructions provided by your doctor.
