I'm really worried about having dry eyes. Is it something that could eventually lead to losing my vision? Also, is this condition something that's going to stick around forever? Would love some guidance on what to expect.

No , dryeyes get infected easily and leads to refractive errors,hence should not be neglected,and usually it's not a chronic problem

I've had a squint in my right eye since I was a kid, but it seems more noticeable now as I'm 28. Is there any way to fix this without having surgery? Are there glasses or maybe muscle exercises that could help?

Question

I've suddenly noticed that the sclera of my left eye is swollen. I don't wear glasses or contact lenses, and I haven't been using any eye drops. Could you help me figure out what might be causing this?
