Question 1

I recently had an eye exam and learned my eye pressure is pretty high. During the visit, the doctor asked if anyone in my family had glaucoma, and after I mentioned my optic nerve, she said there's a slight issue but not to worry. I'm curious, can I still do exercises like push-ups, pull-ups, and intense cardio? Is it okay to hit the gym, or could these activities affect my eye pressure?

Question 2

I'm dealing with an issue for the past 5 or 6 days where I have a small pimple-like swelling at the corner of my right eye. It seems to be coming from the inside layer, and it's pretty annoying because it itches and hurts sometimes. What could be causing this? Would appreciate your advice.

Question 3

I've attached the topography reports my doctor gave me, and they've suggested I should go for TPRK CXL in my left eye. My right eye has a vision of 66 with a 0.5 sph, so the doctor recommended waiting for three months before taking any action. Im a bit concerned and have a few questions. Is it common to have thin corneas from a young age? How long do I need to rest after this procedure? And what exactly is TPRK, especially considering my thin corneas? Could you help me understand what the reports are showing?
