Can I do some eye exercises to reduce my number
Well, there are no scientifically proven evidences to reduce the power of your eye by doing some eye exercises.
The power of eye ,medically termed as refractive error depends upon the anatomical structure of your eye
I.e the length of your eye ,curvature of cornea and lens
So by doing any eye exercises you cannot change the anatomical structure of your eye.

Why are my eyes itching
The most common cause of itchy eyes is an allergy .Itchy eyes can be triggered by exposure to dust ,pollen ,animal fur ,mould, dust mites ,make up or eye drops. The body reacts to the trigger by releasing histamine(compound released by body during allergy )causing the blood vessels in the eye to dilate thus irritating the nerve endings so the eyes in turn water.

Signs of high eye pressure
High eye pressure medically termed as intraocular pressure (IOP)is related to ocular conditions called GLAUCOMA and OCULAR HYPERTENSION.
GLAUCOMA is an eye disease related to the eye pressure causing damage to the optic nerve whereas in OCULAR HYPERTENSION there is rise in eye pressure
Glaucoma also known as silent killer of vision usually shows no signs in the initial stages
As the disease progresses , one might experience some signs and symptoms
In Later or advanced stages of glaucoma one may develop some signs and symptoms

Allergies to Eye glasses
Although not common, it’s possible to have an allergic reaction to your prescription eyewear.
This is because some people may develop allergic reaction to the material of the frames or the coating around the frame, friction of part of the frame against the skin, or the nose pad (the portion of your eyeglasses that sits on your nose) material is allergic and does not suit the person. Some plastic frames have a metal wire for support of the frame due to constant use the plastic coating comes out and the metal wire may rub against the skin causing redness or blisters. Some people may develop allergies due to engravings on the sides or temples of the frame due to allergic reaction of the materials. The result can range from a mild skin irritation to oozing, blister-like sores around the eyes, rashes or black marks.
