Medical Forum / General / Vision / June 2007Eyes always feeling heavy.
Hey all, Recently my eyes have begun to feel more and more heavy all the time. It's like they just want to be closed slightly and lose focus to feel better. I obviously can't see in this state and am worried about willingly blurring my vision could be doing to my eyes. The later in the day, the worse it gets. If I keep my eyes focused the whole day, by the time I'm watching TV at night a lot of the white colouring (letters, shirts, etc.) begin to have this sort of "duplicate" effect, where it's like they have some sort of aura glowing around them. This only affects things like TV and computer monitors. It doesn't occur with regular objects. I wear glasses for reading and on the computer and just got my prescription renewed with no eye defects (did one of those pictures of my nerves and stuff). Anyone have any ideas? Does this even make sense? ;) Hi, I feel you are either staring too much or not blinking naturally & normally!!! get yourself checked out for convergence inefficiency & take a glacoma exam. There is nothing to be concerned about. High stress levels combined with less sleep could also result in the above symptoms. The normal blink rate is approx 14 to 18 times a minute.

Does this even make sense? ;) Were they feeling heavy before the most recent exam and did you mention it to the doctor? Does the feeling go away if you wear your glasses for TV and computer? If you are in your mid thirties or older, could be distance hyperopia manifesting or could be a tear problem. Call your eye doctor's office and ask if you have any distance prescription in addition to the reading/computer prescription. If so, you may need it. If not, likely time for a re assessment. Dr Judy Dear Drafter Girl, Subject: Using a "reading glass". One poster, Neil Brooks, has suggested that using a reading glass -- as you are doing it -- can produce diplopia. Perhaps he can explain his proof that that is the case. > Hey all, > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Anyone have any ideas?

Difficulty comprehending simple English, eh? I have explained that unprescribed use of plus lenses as an alleged myopia prevention therapy--particularly in young people with developing neurlogical fusion centers--can cause diplopia. An unprescribed plus lens--without appropriate evaluation and prescription for interference with near-vision synkinesis--can disrupt the triad of near vision. This is not that. The original poster has been prescribed reading glasses. You're simply not too bright, are you? >Perhaps he can explain his proof that that is the case. I've povided "proof" by witnessing YOU induce double vision in over a dozen people who--unknowingly--followed your advice. I've also provided you -- hundreds of times -- with the SCIENCE that explains why it happens (note that I'm not talking about theory. I'm talking about fact). You're simply not too bright, are you? Drafter girl: ignore Otis. Your eyes will thank you for it. >> Hey all, >> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >> >> Anyone have any ideas? Does this even make sense? ;) |
