Question 1

Question 2

I'm having some trouble with my eyes lately. I've been using contact lenses, and over the last couple of days, my right eye has been hurting, especially when I blink or touch the area under it. This morning, I noticed the area was a bit swollen, kind of like a puffy eye bag, but after I applied a warm compress, it seemed to get better. There's no visible bump or stye, just slight redness. What do you think I should do about the pain?

Question 3

I'm a bit worried about my eyesight because my eye power has been getting worse lately. I have Sph. 0.25 and Cyl. 0.5 and I've been wearing glasses for about a year now. I spend almost 8 hours every day in front of a computer, and I'm wondering if that's affecting my eyes. Is there a way to get back to my natural eyesight? Also, should I be wearing my glasses all the time or just when I really need them, like when driving or in a lecture? Would love your advice on this.
