For daily use with computer strain and mild power (-1.25), the best option is lubricating (artificial tear) eye drops, which keep your eyes moist and reduce dryness, burning, and irritation caused by screen time. use 1?2 drops in each eye 2?3 times daily, take regular breaks from screens (20-20-20 rule), and avoid overuse. If irritation or blurred vision continues, consult an eye doctor.

Recommendation:
- Use artificial tear eye drops like Blink Contacts or Systane Ultra.
- These are suitable for daily use to alleviate discomfort from computer usage.
Considerations for Your Prescription:
- Ensure the eye drops are preserved with less irritating agents.
- Keep usage frequency reasonable to avoid washing out the natural tear film too often.
Lifestyle Tips:
- Follow the 20-20-20 rule to rest your eyes.
- Adjust screen brightness and maintain a suitable distance from the screen.

I've been jogging for almost three years, but for the past week, I've had excruciating ankle pain that prevents me from walking or bearing my body weight. Could you perhaps recommend some medication?

Your symptoms suggest a possible Ankle sprain or overuse injury, so first rest the ankle, avoid running, apply ice, use compression bandage, and keep it elevated. For pain, you can take Paracetamol or Ibuprofen (if no stomach/kidney issues), and use a topical gel like Diclofenac. If you cannot bear weight or pain is severe, get an X-ray and consult an orthopedician to rule out fracture.

I had night palsy in my wrist last Sunday. I have trouble with my wrist. I'm not taking anything from this hand. Please advise me on better exercises and provide me with better guidance, sir.

Your symptoms sound like Wrist drop, often caused by temporary nerve compression during sleep; most cases improve gradually over weeks. Start gentle exercises like wrist extension (lifting the hand up with support from the other hand), finger stretching, and making a fist repeatedly, doing them slowly 2?3 times daily without pain. You can also use a wrist splint to keep the hand in a normal position and avoid pressure on the arm while sleeping. If there is no improvement in 2?3 weeks, or weakness worsens, consult a neurologist or physiotherapist for proper evaluation and guided therapy.
