Hi, I am 46 and have had a -5.6 or so Rx since I was 12 yrs old.  In
the last 6 months, in low light, I have begun removing (lifting up) my
glasses to read something (or I turn up the lights). In good light I

I have been using antireflection coated plastic lenses now for about 18

This is question I've had for 30 years. Maybe someone here knows the

Twice now I've fallen asleep on the couch and when I woke up there was
a clear "skin bubble" on the lower right, outside corner, of my right
eye.  The bubble sort of wrinkles up if I push on the lower lid,
otherwise it's flat but obviously not firmly attached to the eye.  It

Intrepid readers may recall me mentioning I have an assortment of soft
lenses to try.  My left lens is a toric and I was provided three
different powers, same brand/bc/dia.  Ostensibly the lenses are
identical except for the thickness and I imagine the difference is so

I seem to have a vision problem that has been getting worse.  I am 55.  I have

I was one of the first people in the UK to use Acuvue disposable contact
lenses. I was on a routine where they were worn for a week and then replaced
with a new pair after a short (half a day) sabbatical. After a while my
optician recommended that to 'play safe' I should remove ...

I'm new to contacts. I'm new to any sort of proper

astigmatism.

This will probably come across as a really weird question, but is it
possible for your eyesight to regenerate?
A few days ago I woke up and my right eye was really red.  At first I
thought it was pink eye, and I put in some Polysporin drops, but it did
