I don't have cataracts, but I have a bunch of other issues with my eyes. Eye drops of various kinds, heat for 10 minutes at a time to improve oil production (dry rice in fabric in the microwave is effective for moist heat, but make sure it doesn't get too hot), eye breaks every 20 minutes (at least make sure you look until the distance), and massaging your temples might help with strain.

Federal Medicaid funding and ACA subsidies are at stake, and it would have long-term impacts. The healthcare cuts were already passed months ago and are about to go into effect, so many people have been waiting hoping something will change because they don't know how they'll get insurance for January. Hopefully the democrats see that this is deeply unpopular and stick with it for once to secure funding in time.
There are great news sources out there to get this information with a socialist analysis. This video starts talking about the shutdown at 1:10:00 and explains it in an accessible way. https://www.youtube.com/live/lmEO_YaPMro
This video has an actual Uyghur talking about her life experience and addressing some of the western lies: https://youtu.be/a1po9oTVtYw
This also has a lot of information and sources: https://redsails.org/the-xinjiang-atrocity-propaganda-blitz/
If I'm remembering right, the BE video had some true information (like legitimate sources), but the biggest problem was with how he interpreted what he saw through the absurd mental gymnastics of the western propaganda machine (one example I remember was him saying that a video of Uyghurs performing cultural dances for a reporter means their culture must be suppressed the rest of the time). There are way more informed sources out there.
Pushing too hard in my free time is a problem for me too. I sometimes set a timer for short breaks, especially during work or something I might get focused on like a video, and I also keep a list of activities that don't require my eyes to make it a little easier to force myself to stop using them for a while when I have to. I hope things get easier for you!
