I'm an Indian living abroad and I've noticed some swelling near my left eyebrow over the last couple of days. There's a bit of pain when I touch the area, and it's got me a little worried. Do you think it might go away on its own, or should I be looking at using some eye drops? Could you recommend a good one I could buy?

I'm a bit confused about my recent eye test results. I went to Titan Eye and they said my vision is 2.00 on both sides, so I ordered glasses based on that. But a few days later, during a family checkup, another eye test showed my vision as 1.50. When I asked Titan Eye about this, they mentioned that a variation of 0.25 or 0.50 is normal and suggested that wearing 2.00 glasses wouldn't harm my eyes. But I'm not quite convinced. Is it really okay to wear glasses with a slightly higher power, like 2.00 instead of 1.50? Do you think its better to stick with a 1.50 power for reading, or should I consider progressive lenses? I've tested with another doctor who also said it's 1.50. What's your advice on the best route to take here?

You go according to ophthalmologist opinion , sometimes technicians may not do it properly.. .minor variation will be there in all test, its interobsever variation.... Results also depends on type of test whether it's just a chart test or slit lamp test..

I've noticed that my eye has been red for the past two days. There's no itchiness or pain, but it's super sticky in the morning and kind of gets stuck shut. I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you recommend a medicine or something?
