I'm dealing with keratoconus that was diagnosed about 5 years ago, and it's getting worse. My eyesight is changing, and I'm currently using lenses. I'm getting treatment at LVP Eye Care right now, but I'm really curious if there's any treatment available for keratoconus using acupressure or acupuncture. Could you shed some light on that option?

Question

My doctor gave me a prescription for my glasses with these details: Right Eye is 2.25 spherical, 1.50 cylindrical with an axis of 170, and the Left Eye is 2.75 spherical and 1.25 cylindrical with an axis of 10. But the specs I got made by the company have the Right Eye at 2.25 spherical, 1.50 cylindrical with an axis of 160, and the Left Eye at 2.75 spherical and 1.25 cylindrical with an axis of 180. I'm wondering, will this change in axis affect my vision in any way? Should I continue using these specs or should I get them corrected to match my prescription?

Question

Got C3R done a couple of months ago, and initially, everything was looking good with my vision getting better. But recently, I went outside and got some dust in my eyes, which led to an infection. The doctor prescribed BMox, but now my vision's gone blurry and there's some pain too. Should I get this checked out with the doc again or just wait it out a bit?

Question

I've noticed that my left eye is looking really red, kind of like it's filled with a blood-like fluid, and it's been this way for about 23 days now. I've also been feeling this strain in that eye for the same amount of time. I do have high blood pressure and diabetes, so I'm wondering if those might be connected to what's going on. What could be causing this, and what would the diagnosis likely be?
