How common is it for myopia to get better as one ages?  I'm 62 years old and
have just been prescribed the same distance correction I was given at age 29
(-1.75, both eyes).  My distance vision with the glasses I've worn for the
last 12 years (-2.50, -2.25) had gradually become less ...

For exactly one week now I've had a problem which two doctors have been so
far unable to diagnose, the latter used a slit microscope during her
examination.  I've got an appointment to see an Opthalmologist in one week,
but I'm a bit concerned about this so I thought I might ask ...

I've heard that vision changes occur in adults in the age range 45-55.
Doesn't this mean that if a person has Lasik laser surgery as a young adult
(younger than 45), that their eyesight will still change when they go
through the 45-55 age range - thus cancelling the benefit that the ...

Hello,
  I am looking for some suggestions on new contact lens technology
that I could look into with my doctor.  Currently I am wearing Menicon
Z's.  Although I like them, I get alot of vision problems in low light

I have been a special effects makeup artist for about 12 years and as of late I
have carved a niche in temporary dental changes and eye painting.
I recently interviewed at one of the premiere "special effects lens" houses in

I had a baseball related trauma to my right eye back in August 03.
Torn iris with hypotony(2 -4 IOP) - 3 surgeries later - no hypotony(20

Hi this is my precription and i would like to know what my options
are. -2.50-2.50X040 for the right eye and -6.00-2.75X160. I'm 50 years
old and my optometrist fitted me with toric lenses with monovision and

The new glasses I got a week ago are too small for me.  When I turn my
eyes the lenses are not there, thus I cannot see in all direction,
only directly in front of me.   I want to go back to the doctor and
address this problem but I dont know what to say -- after all I chose

I am ordering a pair of Varilux Panamic glasses from Spectera, which

optician, who takes measurements, sends order information about the desired
frame, lens material, coatings, prescription, etc., along with my ...

My 76 year old mother is scheduled to have a cataract surgery in a
week. Three weeks ago she went to see a surgeon for pre-surgery
evaluation. She had drops applied to her eyes for dilation. After she
came home she realized that she could see well and read with no

I've occasionally posted here on my contact lens experiences. Quick
recap: Wore those now-repudiated one-year extended wear lenses for a
year on a weekly cleaning schedule in 1988-1989, daily wear gas

Mom had some redness in her eye last October
and the optometrist prescribed tobradrex.
She took the recommended dose for 3 days.
Since then, she has occasional pain in the
