Hi I have just started a trial of daily throw awayable soft contact
lenses.
Before this I had Monthly ones and only used them a few times a week,
so kept the same pair in use for over 2 months (changing the solutions

This is something I am not considering: the insertion of a needle into the
eye to displace a cataract. Nevertheless, in poor countries it continues
to be practiced, and the results are better than I would have guessed. A
follow-up study appears below:

When I retire in a year or so I plan to resume playing in an adult
softball league.  In the meantime, I'm getting to the point when I need
to take care of the cataract in my right eye.  I'm not sure what the
best option is for me given my desire for an active lifestyle,

Could someone let me know if the astigmatism indicated in the following
prescription will definitely require a toric lense, or may it be
possible to trial normal contacts? Cylinder is +0.75 in both eyes. I've
googled around and the only info I could find  was that -0.75 is

My cataract surgery went okay, slight edema that cleared up.  But now,
after 2 weeks, I noticed that I appear to be hyperopic by about 0.5
diopter in right eye. When I looked at the laser IOLMaster measurement
report taken two years prior to surgery (Doc said I didn't need a newer

I'm french Canadian so bear with my English please. I am a diabetic of type 2. I am also 46. I noticed that for the last 6 months that I have more problem at reading. Its not dramatic yet, but its not easy as before. I went to pass a eye test, and that confirmed what I thought + ...

Many people on this list have chosen a contact lens, but the context in
which I'm doing it may be interesting. I have had a cataract operation in
the left eye, but may postpone an operation on the other for two or three
months.

Is it possible to order exact "original equipment" replacement nosepads?
I have 2 different frames that need replacements - both Marchon Flexons.

How soon after the removing of an epiretinal membrane can I resume
light exercise such as yoga including head stands, jogging for 30

The surgery took 70 minutes and had no complications. I asked the

If anyone can help, thank you in advance. I had a cataract removed from my
left eye almost 1 month ago. The cataract developed over a few months, so
this was a shock. Since I've worn contact lenses for years, and just turned
40 and never needed reading glasses, my doctor and I ...

I went for my annual eye exam and CL fitting this morning.  Last
year I asked about Acuvue Advance, but J&J didn't have the -6.50
power I needed.  I've been using a combination of Acuvue 2 (8.3 BC,

Ahhh, my poor left eye - first it was hyperopic and I disliked contact
lenses, so I had a Staar ICL put in ... which had zero vault and the eye
got a cataract. (Same thing on the right eye, but haven't had that

Dear forum,
can someone explain me the reason why the rods and cones in our eyes do
differ in their sensitivity to light ? Is this due to chemical
differences in the visual purple that they contain or does the shape

I have fairly dry eyes but have had great luck with the Focus N&D's and
the Aquify solution. However, I do need the toric lenses for my
astigmatism. I've tried the Acuvue Advanced but after about 4 hours they
