I am 43 and starting to have difficulties reading close.  From what I
understand, this gets worse with age until you completely lose the
ability to accommodate.  So, I got to wondering:
1. Typically, at what age do emmetropic people lose ALL ability to

I just purchased a pair of glasses with the Hoya 1.70 Evry lenses.
This is what I use for distance.  I have a pair of Hoya's I got back in
2003 also that I used for the comptuer.  These are supposedly the Hoya
1.71 Teslaid that they stopped making.  I switch between these two.

I just switched to the Acuvue Advance soft contact, BC 8.3, and the
contacts are not centered on my cornea. They ride slightly high,
although the bottom still covers the lower portion of my cornea. Is
this a bad fit or is a small imperfection ok? My last type of contact,

I read on a daily basis all the progress that's made in the eyecare
field; all the people who shed their glasses for a clear and
unobstructed world, and those struggled to see their world through the
haze of milky lenses, and now see clearly thanks to little plastic

What would the manufacturing tolerance be on a soft aspheric -7.5D contact
lens?
The background:
For the last six months, I've been using monthly disposables, and have had

I was wondering if there's been any news lately of new treatments for
floaters (other than vitrectomy, which most eye docs don't recommend,
as it's very risky).
For a number of years there's been talk of using lasers to remove

The learned men on this forum should explain to the weak people that
come here to ask addvice why:
1) a man goes to the doc and complains about his own imperfect sight
2) doc prescribes glasses

I use PriceComparison.com, actualy I did buy contact lenses there
before.

At present I use standard lenses that are 2 1/2 years old and they are
still quite OK except for closer distances. I will be 50 in a couple of
months and it's getting harder to read at shorter distances. Fortunately
I can take the glasses off if I need to check something in ...

Not sure if this is the most appropriate group for my question, but I
couldn't find any others that seemed to fit the bill.
Apologies in advance if I've got the wrong group.
Now on to the question...

Hello all!  For a few years now I have noticed a flap of skin behind
each of my upper eyelids - attached to the lower eyelid.  It can be
irritating at times, but I have grown used to it.  I was wondering if
it was natural (perhaps due to long term use of contact lenses) or if

i m suffering from the sty.If i go out with bare eye's i m prone to
this sty.It is very painfull and it will be there for some 4-6 dayz.It
bulges and contains puss and automatically goes off after some 4-6
dayz.

Four months ago I complained to my optometrist that my peripheral
vision was blurred. I asked if it could be glaucoma. My pressures were
17 and 18. I asked about normal tension glaucoma. She explained that
they look at three things to diaganose glaucoma: the pressures, the

I'm 28, a healthy male, and for a long time would only need glasses
when I did computer work/reading.  Before, they had diagnosed me with
minor nearsightedness and some astigmatism correction.   Turns out,
however, that the optometrists found out ( after dialating me ) that

I am really becoming hopeless on this. I was diagnosed to have dry eye
problem about a year ago (and it also started to really bother me a
year ago). All the answsers I got from doctors are "this is becoz of
dry weather, contact lens, long-time computer usage". And I was told
