Question 1

I'm looking for some advice regarding my eyeglasses. I've been wearing them for the last 78 years, and recently I've had a bit of confusion about my prescription. Almost two years ago, my frame broke, and when I got a check-up at the eyewear shop, they said there was no change in my power. The prescription then was: Left Eye - Spherical 2.25, Cylindrical 0.50, Axis 175; Right Eye - Spherical 2.00. But I recently got my eyes checked at Lenskart, and the optician said its now: Left Eye - Spherical 2.00, Cylindrical 0.75, Axis 175; Right Eye - Spherical 2.00. I spoke with my regular optician, and he mentioned a 0.25 difference is common and should not be an issue. I went ahead and ordered new glasses with the Lenskart prescription, but now I'm not sure if I should switch to the new glasses or stay with the old ones. Can this small difference affect my vision, or is it okay to use either pair? I'm feeling a bit confused about what to do next.

Accepted Answer

If the small difference in the prescription isnt causing you any noticeable issues, I wouldnt worry too much. But trying the new lenses out should give you a better sense of what works best for your eyes! Let me know if you need any more clarification.

Question 2

I accidentally got some Harpic liquid on my skin and washed it off with water right away. I went out and got Refresh Liquigel as a precaution. Could you tell me how many drops I should use and how often?

Accepted Answer

If youve come into contact with Harpic liquid, it's great that you washed it off immediately. For Refresh Liquigel, usually 1-2 drops in each eye should be enough, 2-3 times a day or as needed for comfort. If irritation persists, its best to consult a doctor.

Question 3

I've been noticing something weird lately. Every morning when I wake up, everything I look at seems to have this orange tint to it. It usually goes away after a few minutes, but it's starting to worry me a bit. I'm 29, and I'm not sure if this is something serious or if there might be an underlying cause I should be aware of. Any insights into what might be happening, or suggestions on what I should do next?

My dad takes Ecospirin AV 75 every night, and he's got a cataract surgery scheduled for January 7th. The doctor said to stop taking Ecospirin AV 75 five days before the operation. Does that sound right to you? I just want to make sure it's okay.
