I just had my eyes examined and got new glasses. I feel the vision in one of
the lenses is just too strong, too intense. Do you think the Optician is
going to give me a hard time when I ask him to change the lenses to a lower
RX? I've given them 7 days and still feel this way. My ...

I made a simplified myopia inheritance calculator.
Just save the following as f.ex. "myopiacalc.html".
When you open it, you have a very simple myopia prevalence calculator,

Mine keeps getting worse, even though I've stopped growing for a decade.

What is the mechanism or process by which Focus Progressives work?
Been wearing them for about a year, and I can't figure out how I can read
small stuff up close and read the 20:15 line at twenty feet with no
conscious shifting of my eyes or contacts.  Everything in between is ok,

I seem to have dry eyes, esp at night and morning after lasix surgery.  The eye
drops I put in do help but I seem to need to put them in 3-4 x before really

Can someone please give me a rough idea how common is the problem of
retinal holes in the general population, and how common is it in
people with myopia ?
Just need an idea.

I had a cataract operation, involving a vitrectomy, last May, and CME later
developed, almost certainly as a consequence of surgery. Recently I began to
treat this condition with Pred Forte and Voltaren, and after about six weeks
of this treatment, the condition is considerably ...

I'm beginning to work at a computer a lot more often now and I am afraid
that if I work at a computer a lot for the rest of my working life (I'm 25)

I have excellent vision now but I would like to know if I should investigate

I have had cataract surgury on both eyes. They are now tearing at a rate
that mkes for distorted vision. It is worse for the more recently operated

What are likely causes for excessive tears? What is the usual treatment?

I have been suffering from GPC for quite some time now. My eyes are
constantly irritated and burning, especially when in dry environments.
As you are probably aware, GPC is caused by wearing contact lenses.
For that reason I've been completely out of contacts for the last

I have used Bausch & Lomb Occasions bifocals successfully for the past
7 years.  Bausch & Lomb has discontinued this lens.  I have been to
two optometrits and have tried the various products from most of the
major contact lens manufacturers.  None of them are even close to the

I have been wearing pmma lenses for almost 30 years without problems.
My eye doc. insists that I should not go with another set of pmma.

suggested that pmmas cause damage etc.  I have tried the rgp lenses in
