Request for Assistance with Low Vision

Dear Practo Support Team, I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to seek assistance regarding some vision-related issues that I have been experiencing recently. I have been facing low vision issues with my eyes, particularly when working on digital devices such as laptops. Without my glasses, I have hazy and blurry vision, making it difficult for me to focus on the screen and work effectively for extended periods of time. Additionally, I have been experiencing dry eye issues, which further exacerbate my discomfort and impact my productivity. Given the nature of my work, which involves extensive use of digital screens, these vision problems have become a significant challenge for me. I am reaching out to seek your guidance on potential solutions or recommendations that could help alleviate my symptoms and improve my ability to work comfortably and efficiently. I would greatly appreciate any advice or assistance you could provide in this matter.
