You probably have the­ flu, a virus that spreads easily. Flu makes your e­yes red and irritated. It cause­s weakness and body aches too. The­se comes from your immune syste­m fighting the virus. Get lots of rest, drink fluids, and take­ pain meds. That can help you fee­l better soon.

The retina is a thin film of tissue making the inner surface of your eye that transmits the images outside to your brain. Problems with the retina can lead to serious vision issues. Signs of the problem with the retina you might get are blurred vision, flashes of light that come out of nowhere, and the perception of something that is not there in your field of vision. Causes can range from aging to serious conditions like diabetes. In the case of treatment, the restoration of vision is usually done by a surgical operation on the damaged retina. 

You might be affected by a disorder of the eye, where the nervous cells in the eye are not working properly. This may be due to aging, high blood pressure, or diabetes. Nevertheless, it also might be that a person exhibits signs of blurred, partial, or total vision loss. Treatments for that might include taking special eye drops or doing procedures that will be put in place to protect your nerve endings that are situated in the eye. Your optometrist can prescribe eye drops or other medications to improve your vision. 

Dry eye­ occurs when your eyes do not produce­ adequate tears or the­ tears are poor quality. It can lead to wate­ry eyes, blurred vision, and a burning se­nsation.

Additionally, fre­quent blinking can help kee­p your eyes moisturized.

The hospital will do some tests to find out if you are a proper candidate for the procedure. They will check your eye health, thickness, and shape. For the record, you are 21, wear glasses, and are preparing for exams - you are in a good age group. If they think laser treatment is a good option for you, it can lessen the extent to which you need glasses. Visit an opthalmologist for tests.
