What could cause a discomfort after wearing spectacles?

Hi doctor,

Over the past few years, I have intermittently used glasses. However, I have not consistently worn them due to discomfort, especially since I have a prescription of -6.5 for my right eye and -2.25 for my left. As I have mentioned earlier, wearing spectacles causes discomfort for me. I suspect that my left eye may be farsighted. Upon researching online, I came across symptoms such as blurred vision on one side, issues with binocular vision, and challenges with oncoming vehicle lights at night. During my ninth standard, I tried a treatment involving patching for my weaker eye to enhance vision. However, after switching doctors, the recommendation was for lenses with a negative power for both eyes. Given this information, what would you suggest I do next?

Thank you.

Could screen addiction lead to blurry vision?

Hello doctor,

I am a 25-year-old who spends a significant amount of time glued to screens. Lately, I have noticed my vision getting a bit blurry, and my friends have been mentioning terms like myopia and farsightedness. I want to ask few questions:

1. Could this habit of watching the screen be affecting my eyesight?

2. Also, I am quite anxious about the possibility of eventual blindness. Is that a genuine concern, or am I overthinking things?

3. What is the deal with myopia and farsightedness? Can they be corrected, or will I need glasses forever?

4. Any advice on taking care of my eyes in this digital age?

Would you like to give more information on myopia and farsightedness or give tips for eye care while using digital devices? I just want to see things clearly, quite literally. Kindly help.

Thank you.

What are ways to limit myopia progression?

Hello doctor

I am a 32 year old female. I have worn spectacles since the age of 10 due to myopia. It began at -0.5 and is currently at -6. Will this get worse in the future, or should I get LASIK surgery? In addition, if things continue this way, I worry that I may go blind. Are there any eye exercises I should perform as well? I work in IT, so I spend a lot of time in front of screens. Kindly guide me.

Kindly help.
