I recently purchased a new pair of prescription glasses from
SpecSavers (http://www.specsavers.co.uk).
I am 24 years old and have had to weare glasses since I was 12.
However, for a 6 year period i chose not to wear them for one reason

It is turning into one of those dull, airless seeming days here (West
Wales) where it is an effort to get moving and everyone seems to be
yawning (even the animals!)
But why do your eyes water when you yawn?  And come to that, why do we

Dear Friends,
I am 24 years old computer engineer. I got my eyes checked recently
and shockingly my right eye was found to have SEVERE astigmatism. I
never wore glasses before.  I still see things clearly with both the

Well...in my research so far going over everything so far I decided to
try combining pinhole glasses and plus lenses (+3).  I took some black
construction paper made two holes using a push pin and taped them over
my +3 glasses.  I tried to watch tv and it worked from about 30ft.

I went to a local eye-glass store and they told me that my eye power
(-2.5 sph, -3.75 cyl) is too high and rimless glasses cannot be made
for them. Just wondering if this is indeed the case ? Does anyone have
an idea ?

Hello.  Bob speaking.  Oh, hi Honey.  How did your eye exam go?
A little nearsighted, then?  I was a little worried when you failed your
license exam.
He said it's probably caused by working too many hours on the computer,

I need to locate a pair of Lacoste ( Proctor & Gamble ) frames as mine have
broken.  they were  Lacoste Classic 7119 TI  J014
can anyone tell me  re the UK
who P & G get to make their frames.

Having been an Acuvue contact brand wearer or years starting with
regular Acuvues, moving to 1-day Acuvues and alternating with Acuvue 2
lenses, I am very interested in trying the new Acuvue Advance lenses.
However, my correction is -9.0. The max minus correction I have seen

I posted previously how my wife flunked the vision test, got glasses
(+1.00), and then retook the DMV vision test with 20/20 vision, only to be
told that she needed to take a driving test.
Well, yesterday was the driving test, and she flunked it!  She asked the

Is it possible for someone to get an infection from making the mistake
of inserting an old lens that had been stored in (probably expired)
Bausch and Lomb Renu solution?
Can someone have an eye infection w/out presenting the typical signs

I have a question for all you contact lens experts. I have been using
the Acuvue 2 lenses in (OD +1.50, OS +2.00). I have 0.5D astigmatism
in my left eye only. Due to a small amount of blur in my left eye, my
eye doc gave me Cooper Frequency 55 Aspheric in those same powers.

I went to the opthalmologist today to get checked for an eye
infection. He said my left lens was dirty. Had me take it out, and put
it in a case with some disinfectant. He then added Alcon Supraclens.
When I put the lens back in my eye, it burned and stang my eye.

Is it possible for an opthalmalogist to diagnose an eye infection
WITHOUT using a stain?

One thing that is holding me back from buying a Silhouette frame is that it
seems like your stuck with needing to purchase an expensive $70-$80 pair of
sunglasses that work with the Silhouette frame.  Does anybody know if there
are cheaper sunglasses that will work with the rimless ...

I was told by staff at an optical shop that the push-on clips that hold the
temple on the lens regularly come off on the Silhouette frames.  I was also
told that the rimless frames frequently cause the lenses to crack.  Another
optician also warned me about this.
