Hi there, I have been researching Natural Vision Improvement, and I
thought this would be a good place to search for a professional
opinion.
Much of what I have found seems unproved and basically a con, tempting

I have been wearing contacts for 10 years. Recently, the brand I wear,
Edge 3, has started to become uncomfortable. I have never worn any
other brand. Do any eye care specialists have suggestions for daily
wear lenses that are considered by most people to be easier to wear?

For years, my doctor and I had assumed that the persistent inflammation
of the whites of my eyes was due to allergic conjunctivitis.  I have
recently been rediagnosed by another opthamologist as having moderate
blepharitis, for which he prescribed a combination antibacterial and

I was reading an article in the Times today, and now I find that my
annoyance with some of the goings-on here is a result of a genetic implant

Does someone have a list of toric soft contacts lenses which are available
over -6.00? I'll most likely need a -6.25 or -6.50. I'd like to know the
choices I have available to me before I go in to my next appointment. Are

I am 51.  I started wearing +1.25 glasses about 10 years ago, 1.25/1.50
bifocals 5 years ago, and my new glases are 1.75/1.75 with +.25
astigmatism.
The new glasses have orange and blue fringes in the distance portion.

I have a friend who has a pretty successful private practice in
optometry. He has an optical store for designer frames, glasses,
contacts, and sunglasses. His brother does the eye examines, and he has
a surgeon as well that does lasik, cataract and other eye surgeries. He

Seven years ago, I had Lasik surgery.  Eleven days ago I had cataract
surgery (crystalens).  Six days ago, the vision deteriorated.  It's not
bad in the morning but becomes progressively more astigmatic throughout

Hi, I've tried contacts off and on over the past few years and haven't
been able to find any that my eyes seem to agree with.  When I'm wearing
