Well I promised the group I'd give you an update. Had LASIK 6 days ago
in Denver, I had between 3 and 4 diopters of myopia, a bigger than
average pupil size (7mm) and not sure about my cornea thickness, but
Dr. said it was good.

I'm a bit late to respond here, but I just read this.
You're kidding, right?? I think so.
..But in case not. The chances are clearly in the order of fantasy
numbers. It's about as likely that you should live to become a 1000

I have an Italian friend whose eyes are brown just around the pupil,
and turquoise (i.e. blue family) beyond that. I have never seen this
before, and would like to know its frequency. Where could I find out
this information?

I wear the Optima FW (8.4mm BC) and am totally in love with them. No
other lens has ever even come close to this lens in relation to
comfort-these are literally unnoticeable!! :)
The only disadvantage of these lenses for me is the fact that my

I'm a 27 year old male working in IS (use computers all the time).
I've developed what I THOUGHT was a normal case of myopia and it
gradually got worse to the point where I needed glasses at about 18
years old. My prescription has about levelled off so I started looking

Special mention for this super-idiot named Mike.
He reported strange progress he was not able to explain in "scientific"
terms.
Either he was honest and told truth or he was a liar, just for mocking

I think I had a Chalazion surgery - the doctor didn't explain me what
I had and what I was going to have. (my eyelid became inflamed after
having sties, compresses and medication didn't work, he said he'll
remove the "fatty tissue" that accumulated there). Anyway, after doing

I recently had cataract surgery (on one eye), and I'd like to have glasses
made (if possible).  I'm in Chicago.  Right now I'm wearing a CL, which
works pretty good, but I'd like spectacles for evenings, etc.
I checked with a few optometrists, unsuccessfully.  Can anyone recommend ...

How does one go about picking an optometrist?  I have
moved 4 times in the last 5 years and each time I have
to go through the rigmarole of finding a new optometrist.
Most of the time I've been quite disappointed.  It seems

My name is Dr. Theresa Rua.  I am an optometrist who uses vision therapy
(eye exercises) in my practice.  
I am currently offering a Vision Improvement Manual on eBay.  The web

should glasses have the same power as lenses?

Dear Friends,
Subject:  Astigmatism.
Almost all eyes have a small amount of astigmatism.
This issue is degree, and the "limits" that are imposed

my old exam was on 9/2/02.  astigmatism was R -.75 and L -1.00.
prescription was R -.25 -.75 * 097, L -.25 -1.00 * 075.
new exam was on 1/24/04.  astigmatism was R -1.25 L -2.00.
prescription was R +.25 -1.25 * 091, L +.50 -2.00 * 078.

I am new to this group.  Read some posts with interest. I have  myopia and
am exploring some options like eye excercise.  Recently saw on TV the See
Clearly Method.  Got a free video but told me nothing. Is this worth
ordering it?

I had PRK 6 days ago and I'm looking for a little reassurance. Right
now I'm on the weaker side of 20/40 and glare is still a major
problem. I don't even feel comfortable driving. I'm worried that I've
made a mistake in having this procedure done. Are my worries justified
