I'm very nearsighted (-15) and have always noticed floaters,
especially when my lenses (contacts or glasses) are not being used.
Is this because my extreme nearsightedness can focus on the timy
floaters close to the retina?

Hello - I'm having a bout of Corneal Erosion in my right eye and I'm not sure

I purchased my first pair of progressive lenses three years ago. I
wanted the thinnest possible lens in plastic. The hoya lens was
recommended. It had just come on the market. I believe it was l.7l
with an abbe number in the 30's.

After a little over a week on Elavil (1 tablet at bedtime as a sleep aid) my
near (reading) vision is shot. Normally I don't need glasses, but had to get
some "reading glasses" to be able to see anything close, and even with the
glasses things aren't that clear.

I can;t find any informatiion about this subject. I where a testset of
extreme h2o contacts and they are good for me. But, are this monthly
disposables or 2-week?
Kind regards

My mother had cataract surgery a year or so ago.  She has been experiencing
clouding recently.  Her physician wants to correct this problem with laser
surgery.  However, my mother has history of developing keloids and is concerned
about this as a complication of the laser ...

Anyone could tell me what do I buy bargain prescription glasses online ?
I've seen it before but I lost the thread . Thankyou so much !

I have been trying this out with a few people with myopia and
astigmatism.

studying the effects of lasers on surgery, I found that one of the
most dangerous events that can happen is the carbonization of the
tissue under treatment, that leads to heavy energy absorption and
consequently to a high temperature that damages the organ.

I know, strange concern. I got LASIK eye surgery about a month ago
(I'm absolutely thrilled with the early results btw). You're
supposedly still healing from LASIK for a few months after treatment.
My eyes have been doing great since the procedure. I've been taking
