Hi again,
I am 39 and have been about -3.00 myopic in both eyes most of my life,
and always wore glasses to correct that.  I had cataract surgery 4
months ago for posterior subcapsular, OD. My other eye is untouched

I have been starting suffering from dry eye problem for two months. So
far optometrists told me that it was caused by my contact lens use,
the long-hour use of computer and the dry weather of Calgary. My eyes
do not feel any discomfort during sleep but at day time they just do

I would think that when given the subjective choices during an exam ( A better

I'm trying to replace my lenses after wearing them for about 5 years.
My prescription has worsened to:
OD Sph -4.25 Cyl -2.75 x 167

I am 46 and am know beginning to have problems reading. I currently
don't wear glasses. I went to my optometrist and was given the
following prescription:
