Patient's question:
I've been feeling a bit tired in my eyes these last couple of days, and sometimes my upper eyelids are a bit uncomfortable (actually, it's not really pain, just discomfort. Sometimes it stings a little, but it's very mild and doesn't happen often). There's also a bit of dryness. I have myopia, and it's all under 100 degrees. Recently, my left eye's prescription has increased a bit (I've been using the computer a lot lately), but I can still see clearly with my 100-degree eyes. It's just that my left eye is a little off.Are these symptoms glaucoma or high eye pressure? Or is it caused by using the computer? What's the reason for the discomfort in my upper eyelids these last two days? When I look at both eyes in the mirror, I feel like my right eye's pupil is a bit more prominent than my left (actually, they're almost the same, but if you look closely, there's a slight difference). But when I asked my classmates, they said they didn't notice it. Is it all in my head?
Doctor's answer:
It's normal for one eye to be slightly larger than the other, not considering a tumor. Myopia is less likely to be combined with glaucoma, while hyperopia is more prone to it. Your symptoms might also be caused by vision fatigue leading to supraorbital neuralgia.
