Medical Forum / General / Vision / May 2005I'm bummed
I have finally realized what "limited range of correction" means when y'all are talking about the O2o and the Acuvue Advance Torics. Neither one comes close to providing me with enough spherical correction on the left; the O2o would probably correct my right eye, but what's the point?

Berst, Otis Just a lifetime wearer of spectacles and an occasional dabbler with contacts. -9.25 left, -6.75 right, both with astigmatism. A -6.00 contact lens *might* get my right eye corrected to an acceptable level, but the spiffy new soft lenses hitting the market right now apparently don't come in a power stronger than a -6.00 so I'm out of luck on the left. >Derar Wooly, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > >Otis +++++++++++++ Reply to the list as I do not publish an email address to USENET.

Dear Wooly, Please disregard Otis's posting. He is not in the medical profession and not in any position to give medical advice. Thanks! Allen Dear Wooly, Some people are intellectial -- i.e., they actually READ the statements in question. I believe that the "Allen" in brain-dead in his mindless "posts" of his. I think he is attempting to act as a, "Defender of the Faith" or some other nonsense. Please forgive him -- because he has no clue. Best, Otis Thanks for the warning Allen. I've been reading this group long enough that I can filter the dreck pretty easily. For a change Otis wasn't pounding the pulpit for one of his "treatments" :) >> What refraction value are you >> talking about?

Give it time, the new materials will soon spread throughout product lines as the demand and consequently the long term result studies grow. The new highly breathable hydrogels were slow starters (in part to lawsuits over US only patents and probably even to reluctance on some fitters who are jaded on new products,) but they are taking off.. Foreign wearers have been lucky to avoid the patent issues in the US. >I have finally realized what "limited range of correction" means when > y'all are talking about the O2o and the Acuvue Advance Torics.
