I've been noticing that I'm getting these external styes on my upper eyelids quite frequently lately. They seem to disappear on their own after a day or two, but then they come back again. Though they aren't painful, it's starting to worry me a bit. Could you recommend any medication or treatment that might help prevent them from returning?

View allI've been struggling with eye pain since the covid year. I spoke with a nurse at the eye hospital who suggested wearing glasses because of my low power of 0.25, but the pain persisted. I can't tolerate bright lights or work on my laptop, especially at night. About six months ago, an eye clinic diagnosed me with a severe eye allergy. I've been on medication courses for 3 weeks, then 2 months, and another 2 months. The pain eases with the meds, but it returns once I stop. Currently, I'm back on a 2-month course taking FLI drops, UV lube, and sodium hyaluronate XL HA, but the pain keeps coming back. Is there any chance this eye allergy can be permanently resolved, or will I have to keep taking these meds non-stop? Should I consider seeing another doctor for a second opinion?

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.

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

I'm 19 and I've recently noticed that my prescription has gone up, from 1.5 to 2.00D in my left eye and 3.25 to 3.5D in my right. I thought my vision would stabilize after turning 18, but it seems like it keeps getting worse every time I see my doctor. Is this progressive myopia going to ever level out? If so, when might that happen? I'm worried that if it keeps changing, it'll become a big problem. I've become quite a mobile addict, and I'm also a computer science student. Could you offer some advice?
The progression of your myopia (-1.5 to -2.00D in the left eye and -3.25 to -3.5D in the right eye) despite being over 18 is concerning, but it's not uncommon; the age at which myopia stabilizes varies, but typically, it plateaus between 20-30 years old; however, nearsightedness can continue to progress with prolonged near work, like excessive mobile and computer use; to slow the progression,
