If one eye sees the color of a sodium vapor light (at night) as its normal
yellowish color and the other eye sees it as a brilliant white, what could
cause this difference?
 Thanks.

This topic is just as much a pet peeve of mine as is the notion of a
"standard" recall interval.
The expiration date should be specified by the doctor on any Rx, unless
he/she wants it to run forever.

I am a woman in my 50's who began wearing monovision contacts about 9
years ago.  I began experiencing occasional episodes of horizontal
diplopia during my 4th year of monovision under specific circumstances
(mostly night driving and watching movies in a theater).  The

I have a astigmatism developing in my eyes, -0.50 each eye.
I also use a telescope. I prefer to observe without my glasses on if
possible but this is getting to be a problem.
I do not have any test lenses to try, so I have to ask...

I'm looking for polycarbonate bifocals (+1.50 / +2.50) that have an
almost flat front surface. A slight curvature would be OK, but the
usual curvature is too large. My local shops say they don't have such
a thing. Is there a place to get something like this?

I had an interesting side effect immediately after switching from Acuvue
to o2 Optix contact lenses.
I have worn Acuvue for many years.  Back in January, I was given a

Any advice on regulatory agencies in Canada/Quebec for optometrists?
I'm thinking along the lines of a complaint.
Thanks for any info.

But the sister has the 'cat eyes' effect.  It is very obvious and you can

I have experiece with Serengeti "Drivers lens" sunglasses. I use them
primarily for driving but also when the sun's bright in the summer. The
Serengeti has the advantage of being robust. I've sat on them with no
problems.

Is the information available that shows the standard Optical Zone for
the available contact lenses on the market?  I'd like to do some of my
own investigating on solutions for my issue with contacts and my big
pupils.  I was content with Surevue, but they were bought by Acuvue

I just went to 3 M.Ds, and each one gave me a prescription. To the last
one, I said about the other 2 and he decided to dilate my pupil before
doing the exam (the other 2  I made with pupil not dilated). What is
the most acurate Rx, the last one? If you need the numbers, let me

Then again, they *are* my eyeballs.  As my son is wont to say after
he's inhaled two sandwiches, a banana and two glasses of milk and

it feels?

I know there is at least one canadian o.d. on this list, but to whomever
might know, where can I find a comparison of the Canadian industrial
safety eyewear regs with the Z87 standards? I have run across a company
that wants to be sure its employees have safety eyewear that is up ...

They say kids all read the same amount of time.  They analyze things
like computer time, Tv time, reading time, and they find no significant
results.  The only thing they find is that it's genetic, but not
always.  I think it's the house that one lives in.  Instead of
