I have facial rosacea, and lately my lower eyelids are pink all the time,
and my eyes have what looks like broken veins in them.  I also have
discomfort in my eyes, sometimes like mild stabbing pains, dryness,
tightness.  I went to a Kaiser opthamologist who told me I didn't have ...

I got new glasses nine days ago. They didn't seem right at all but I
thought I should persevere.
But I've been finding my right eye feels strained and uncomfortable,
and I'm really tired by 10 when I'm normally a real night owl.

Many of you veterns might laugh at this, but I'll tell you, someone
should write a book about transition to wearing reading glasses and the
new challenges you will face.  Sometimes I feel like an idiot trying to
do the things I used to be able to do (and not succeeding) while ...

I'm aware that the pupils constantly shift in accordance with changing light
levels at any one point as you move around or as light levels change, but
what would cause pupils that continue to dilate and contract over and over
in constant light?  For example, in a bathroom with ...

but never anything to do with optometry.  TIA

couple of samples of lubricating drops: Refresh Plus by Allergan and
Systane by Alcon.  He said to try them out and use as needed.  I've

Three labs report different results when I sent
them my RGP contact lens for specifications and I
don't trust the doctors since they have conflicting
statements.

I am quite nearsighted, especially my right eye. At 49, an eye exam
showed I needed bifocals or two pairs of glasses, and I chose to try
progressive lenses in a pair I got three days ago. I believe they're
Varliux.

I have the two rigid gas permeable contact lens with the
exact same base curve (7.8), diopter reading (-8.0) and
diameter (9mm), yet one is sharper than the other. I
ordered the second one to replace the older one. The

It is mentioned that the optima fw contact lenses are meant for a
two-week replacement schedule, and the optima medalist are meant for a
planned replacement schedule (3 months ??). So my question is: are
these the same lenses only repackaged differenly ?? or these lenses

I have been suffering with floaters since my early to mid teens, I'm
now in my early 20s. When I was first diagnosed the Ophthalmologist
seemed to shrug it off and told me I'd "learn to focus past them" (Oh,
the wonders of modern medicine!). I don't know whether they improved
