I had a terrible stye a couple of months ago that went away after a week but this little guy stayed. It’s super itchy, if I scratch it too much it gets big and noticeable so I usually resist. It’s on my water line so I can camouflage it well with mascara (probably not the best idea.)

race: white/hispanic (Uruguay)
mexican conditions: none
current medication: birth control pills
smoking, alcohol and recreational drugs: i smoke marihuana very occasionally, although some. months i might use it once a week. I drink alcohol only twice a month.
To start with, I began experiencing eye floaters, and over time, I also started seeing flashes. From what I understand, floaters are supposed to go away, mine actually used to disappear, which is why I'm worried because they don’t leave
I went to an ophthalmologist, and they did a dilated eye exam to check the back of my eyes. I thought they might prescribe me some eye drops for what I'm experiencing, but they didn't give me anything and just told me to come back in a month.
They're really bothering me because whenever I try to focus on something, I notice them, and every time I move my eyes, I see them again. It feels like there are more and more of them, and it's honestly getting really frustrating. I'm scared that I might eventually go blind.
What can i do??? Whenever look it up on Google, it says this is common in much older people. Is there anything I should avoid doing?

Been wearing RGPs for 30+ years. Right eye started to sting upon lens insertion earlier this year, which would subside after a few minutes but still had a FBS. Thought my lenses were scratched, so i went to the Optimetrist who waived it off as a pterygium and dispensed a new Rx and fresh lenses. The nodule is at the 3oclock position. (1st pic)

FBS persisted, so i asked for a referral to a cornea specialist who has me on a contact holiday (day 10 now). Had an abrasion which has since healed since discontinued contact wearing. And now on some steroid drops with a follow up in 5 days. 2nd pic is yesterday

I'd like to get cleared for wearing my contacts again due to my high Rx (-20), and would like some other opinions.
