Question

I've had redness in my right eye for about three weeks now, and while it wasn't really bothering me at first, I've been noticing a bit of a burning sensation the last couple of days. I'm not sure if this is something serious or not, and I'm a little worried. What could be causing this, and should I be doing anything specific to help it?

I'm really curious about the timeline for getting Lasik surgery. From the initial check-up to the actual procedure, does it take months, or can it all be done in just a few days? Also, how many days will I need to recover? And what's the deal with going back to workcan I return to the office right after the surgery?
