Hello all. I would appreciate any information you could provide me with
regarding a problem that has been bothering me for a while now.
It's been maybe 2 months since I have noticed that my left eye (only the
left) hurts during the early morning hours, or during the night. It

I am a 31 year old woman who recently had carotid stenting on my right
side due to a narrowed and ulcerated carotid.  That, however, isn't why
I'm posting here.  I had three episodes of ocular emboli lodge in my
eye.  One right off the ocular disk and the other two were further down

Back in the bad old days of RK patients were told not to fly on
commercial airliners for some period after having the procedure done.
Presumably this was because pressure changes in the aircraft cabin
would adversely affect the healing process.

I just got contacts, I am nearsighted, just a little bit the doctor
said.  Before the contacts my vision tested at 20/30, then once they
put them in I read the lines and my vision was 20/10.  Then we took
them out and they let me put them back in so I could practice.  After

Is there any foreign place that will mail order glasses into the US?  I
want to write my own prescription but archaic rules won't let me do
this within US.  Willing to take risk of misfitting frames, wrong
prescription, etc.

Hi ...
This is hard to explain - I don't have the right words.  I feel
like when I move my head, my eyes are slow to follow.  The result is
really that I feel very dizzy and nauseated and have a hard time

I have finally realized what "limited range of correction" means when
y'all are talking about the O2o and the Acuvue Advance Torics.
Neither one comes close to providing me with enough spherical
correction on the left; the O2o would probably correct my right eye,

I am wondering if I can get my wife LASIK in the Army, I assume there
would be awaiting list, but I have a few questions about it, what are
the minimum and maximum refraction error limits to be a candidate for
LASIK? Age requirements?

After six years with the same contact lenses prescription (-3.75 in each
eye), my doctor changed my prescription to -4.00.  I wasn't surprised, as I
had noticed my distance vision wasn't quite as sharp as it probably should
have been.

My father, age 68, had cataract removal surgery about ten days ago.
(The official name of the procedure was 'cataract removal and
implantanion of intraocular lens'.)  Since then, the vision in the
operated eye improved somewhat for a while, but never quite recovered

Doctors, do you think that restrictions for lasik have been tightened
in the last 5 years or so?  I'd be interested in your discussion.
One example that I notice now is that the upper limit for lasik may be
lower than it was several years ago.  I used to read about "taking up

I don't know if this is going to get reliable results, but I'll try anyway.
I do hope that there will be many truthful and accurate answers.
If you had LASIK (or other refractive surgery, but mention about it if it's
other than LASIK), you are most welcome to participate in this ...

A recent study from the University of Manchester of patients who were
admitted with eye problems associated with contact lens wear found that
those who were wearing silicone-hydrogel lenses had five times less
risk.

Doctors - is it true that the YAG procedure after cataract surgery runs
the risk of retinal detachment ?  I'm approximately 5 mos post-op, and
have signs of a secondary cataract. My eye doc is very conservative and
says not to do the procedure until it is necessary (affecting the

What is fogginess after a cataract operation? And how come we're photo-sensitive
afterwards?
Yesterday I had cataract surgery at my local public hospital. It was performed
under the New Zealand free public health service, and was rather an excellent
