I've been wearing glasses consistently for the last two years and taking the prescribed medicine, but my eye power hasn't improved. Is there something more I can do to help correct it, or should I be concerned about this?

Question

I'm a bit puzzled and could really use some advice. My previous prescription was RE 4.25 and LE 3.75. When I went to Lenskart for new glasses due to scratches on my current pair, they said my right eye power is now 4.5. Given that my power is already high and I don't feel any discomfort, should I actually switch to this new prescription? Also, I've always used regular fiber lenses without the blue ray coating that I got from another store. Is it necessary to switch to blue ray lenses now, especially since I spend the whole day working on a computer? Lastly, I just learned about cylindrical power being different too. Does this mean I need a completely different prescription for my specs?

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?

Question

I was riding my bike, and some insect flew into my eye. Now it's all red and swollen. Could you tell me what I should do about it?
