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?

I'm really worried because my left eyelid has suddenly become swollen. It's so irritating and makes me want to scratch it. I noticed it started after my yoga class in the park yesterday morning. It wasn't that bad then, but today it's way more swollen. Could the yoga class or just being outside have caused this? What should I do about it?

That could be due to insect bite, don't try to squeeze it, visit Ophthalmologist for evaluation and appropriate management

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 noticing this strange purple shape when I look at people, and sometimes my vision goes blurry for a few seconds. I've had an OCT scan done and I'm using some eye drops and taking a supplement called i Sight Plus. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it just a normal thing?
