I've been reading this group for awhile, and found much good information.
I've learned a lot about the eye and eye problems.  I've had cataract in
both eyes, severy myopia in both eyes, and a retinal detachment in the
right eye about 10 years ago.

I fell asleep for 3 or 4 hours in Focus Dailies yesterday evening.
What's the oxygen permeability of these lenses when dry? Should I get
away with it?
Eyes seem ok this morning, a bit bloodshot beneath the lids... Not sore

What is the difference, technically, between a reading plus lens and
distance plus lens in prescriptions? A +2.00 is written the same
whether for distance or reading yet they are not the same, so how is
the distinction made? If no notation is made that they are reading

I have just ordered a pair of uncoated glass eyeglasses. From what I can
tell, it is very difficult or impossible to find a Los Angeles supplier of
hot deposited quarter-wave magnesium fluoride coatings on glass. Does anyone
have a suggestion along those lines? Does anyone have a ...

I've seen my new OD and life is good. I'm currently
sampling Cooper Vision multi-focals. I can see.
Amazing improvement over the Acuvues with the
distance centered eye (which is also my very

Im a 16 year old male.... since late 2000 i have had literally thousands of
these floaters. They are not big weird shaped floaters that i get
occasionally, but literally thousands of these little dots that cloud my
vision... it was real weird.... i got up to go for a rugby game... ...

I am -2.50 and -3 with no astigmatism. I would be interested to hear any
responses to my question which is this - when does the difference between two
eyes make a noticeable difference when not wearing glasses?  My dominant eye
is my right one I can get by for some things despite ...

I'm wearing Focus Night and Day lenses on a daily wear basis.  I have
monovision.  My eyes are about the same but I wear -2.50 and -4.00.  I found
it a bit uncomfortable when I moved from -3.75 to -4.00 but I adapted to it.
Now it's feeling uncomfortable again - particulary when ...

I have galucoma in both eyes. Yesterday's pressures were 18/18 - very
good.
The doctor wants me to switch from Timolol to Istalol at my next
prescription refill, says it's better.

Is it suggested to have contacts for a mild prescription like mine -.50?
I atried to make an appt for a through eye exam today with the Army.
Here is why, I found out about the flight training center at Osan AB and
talked one of the guys who is a member of the aeroclub, I am ...

I posted previously about the difficulty I'm having adapting to my new
lenses. It also occured to me that I was never really all that happy with my
last pair either, even though I wore them for two years. Thing is, that last
pair is when I first switched to polycarbonate. At the ...

I have a pair of glasses that normally fit snugly enough, but once they get
a little sweat on them during sports I can't keep them on my face.  I'd
rather not use a band that attaches to the earpieces and wraps around the
head.  The ideal would be earpieces that curl around the ...

I've been trying for the past half hour to get a Sunsoft Toric 15.0
lens into my left eye. I've been wearing various daily wear spherical
soft lenses for about 20 years, and usually can put in a contact lens
with my eyes closed (well, you know). But this toric lens is something

I'm posting this for a friend.  He's a very talented artist, and has
been told that he may well soon go blind from advanced glaucoma.  He's
now 55 years old.  He was first diagnosed with glaucoma in his mid-20's
but did nothing about it until his mid-40's, when he first began to
