Why sudden floaters and eye pain with normal eyes recently?
You may be suffering from posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). The reason for this is when the gel-like structure in your eye gradually departs from the retina thus causing floaters. The aching in the back of your eye could be the result of a process that is abrasive to the area. The good news is that PVD often gets better on its own. However, you need to see an eye doctor to confirm there are no complications.

Should I Wear My Specs Full Time?
According to your vision prescription, wearing spectacles every single day is the way to go. It enables your eyes to coordinate better and reduces the possibility of strain, which is particularly important when doing activities such as reading, writing, or using screens. The spectacle usage regularly you wear wouldn't make your eyesight worsen; it only allows you to see better. If you have any new symptoms or concerns, like headaches or blurry vision, reach out to an eye specialist.

Alcohol in Eye: Quick Relief Tips

Why are my eyes in pain on both sides?
Eye strain can explain why you have discomfort in both eyes without the presence of any red spots or other things in them. This is commonly the case when you carelessly devote too much time to the display when looking at it or reading. Relieve your eyes by taking breaks, blinking frequently, and using artificial tears. When the pain persists for longer than usual, it shouldn't be a problem to schedule a visit to an ophthalmologist.

Can eye surgery improve my vision?
If your vision is getting a little foggy, it could be due to several reasons. If you’ve been squinting to see things clearly, it might be cataracts. Cataracts are like a cloudy film that forms over the eye's lens, making everything appear blurry. The good news is that cataract surgery is a common and effective solution to restore clear vision. In this simple procedure, the cloudy lens is replaced with a clear one, allowing you to see better and sharper. If you're having trouble seeing clearly, it’s best to visit an eye doctor to discuss your options.
