Recently I went to the optician and was told my long distance eyesight was
not so good but my near vision is fine.  I don't like glasses so that's not
an option.
I forgot to ask the optician this but I was wondering are contact lenses

I am still in a dilemma as to whether to have surgery for my macular hole.
I understand that there is a good chance that it will improve my vision by a
reasonable amount, though it will not completely solve the problem. If  I

Hi.  I work all day on a computer.  I've recently removed the light strips
above my head, as I find it more comfortable to work when it's a bit darker.
The rest of the office is fairly adequately lit, but it is quite a bit
darker around my desk.  Is this very bad for my eyes?  Or ...

Should I worry about a tear duct plug that is now all the way inside
the duct?
I was trying to keep it from falling out and accidentally pushed it too
far. Now it is not visible at all from the outside.
